a few ways to keep a hyperactive child busy and happy

They always say to focus on the positive and I must say that one positive about an extremely active child is that it gets you out and and keeps you trying new things.  I've been on a small blogging hiatus just trying to keep up the adrenaline and keep him out of trouble over a very long March spring break.  Check out what we've been up to:

1) indoor trampoline park

2) parasailing

3) indoor water park

4) recording studio

5) roller hockey

What do you do to keep your kid busy?

The Story of Fidgety Philip


"Let me see if Philip can
Be a little gentleman;
Let me see if he is able
To sit still for once at the table."
Thus Papa bade Phil behave;
And Mama looked very grave.
But Fidgety Phil,
He won't sit still;
He wriggles,
And giggles,
And then, I declare,
Swings backwards and forwards,
And tilts up his chair,
Just like any rocking horse--
"Philip! I am getting cross!"
See the naughty, restless child
Growing still more rude and wild,
Till his chair falls over quite.
Philip screams with all his might,
Catches at the cloth, but then
That makes matters worse again.
Down upon the ground they fall,
Glasses, plates, knives, forks and all.
How Mama did fret and frown,
When she saw them tumbling down!
And Papa made such a face!
Philip is in sad disgrace . . .
