My five year old son is one of the most energetic kids I have ever met. Many tell me this is normal. I was sitting in my jeep at the school yesturday picking up Mikail, and Caleb was literally bouncing off the interior of the truck. Ahhhhhh! I finally snapped and told Caleb to STOP being crazy......just SIT already! He turned his back to me and said "just flip the switch to 'good' mom." Could it really be that simple? I pretended to switch it and suddenly he was sitting quietly. Sigh....now I just have to teach him to flip his own switch.
