He just wanted to go from one thing to another."

Who was this annoying little boy?

It's always nice to hear success stories as the mother of a child like that. :)

I am fascinated by this young man. I love success stories like his.

And my husband would note that I love to see boys who, even when they're grown, love their moms like that. :D

So dd needs to take up swimming!!

That was actually my plan but she has worn me down and I agreed to Ballet.

My son has been watching him non-stop. He desperately wants to swim fast like that. I told him he has to learn to swim first, other than a simple dog paddle, of course.

I'm about to find a pool to toss him in today. The last week or so he's driving me NUTS with excess energy and it's too hot for me to want to take him out to run it off somewhere. I always thought swimming competitively was too much of a time commitment but now I wonder if it's better than a bored 8 year old.

ITA, I was thinking the same thing. Give me a boost of hope for my 2 ADHD kids that they can acheive success kwim

Ah, NOW I know what to do with #3 :D

Although, the child can't swim a lick right now. I suppose lessons are a must. :p

I totally believe that there is something out there for everyone. And that there are advantages to having a lot of energy. Those qualities might not be appreciated in a classroom setting, but they certainly are needed in a lot of other settings. If the world had my (low) energy we would all be in trouble! :)
