Ds is 2yr 8m and is constantly on the go. He's forever climbing on everything and anything, jumping on and off things. Even if he sits on my knee he's got to be moving in someway either moving from side to side or getting up and down off me or even just twitching his leg up and down. He's got zero sense of danger will run off anywhere given half the chance and will attempt to climb on anything. The latest craze is walking along the top of the sofa standing on the lamp tables and getting on the window sill.
He has a good variety of toys but rarely plays with them in fact he loves nothing more than emptying the box just to throw each toy across the room or under the sofa. The only time he's still is if I put you tube on the tablet which I don't like doing but sometimes it's necessary if I need to leave the room to go the toilet or prepare a meal etc. There's a baby gate on the living room because it's just not safe for him to have the run of the house. It's tiring and draining me
He has 2 older brothers who he constantly wants to play fight with, he will regularly try to bite them (He's never tried to bite another child just his brothers). I've observed him at soft play and he often smacks other children - he's that wild child that you warn your children to avoid!
Hes also a nightmare to get to sleep - once he is asleep though that's him gone until morning but it can be getting to 10 o clock at night before he's asleep he's constantly in and out of bed throwing things round the room it's relentless.
Background he's reached all his milestones around average times. His speech and understanding is brilliant. He eats well too a varied diet. He's been potty trained around 4 mths took to it very easily rarely has any accidents. He goes to nursery 2 days a week.
Dont know what I'm asking really, is he just a normal boisterous 2yo old boy??
