[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what else to call it. Hyperactivity? Lack of sense? Some examples:

-I get a call from the dentist asking if they are speaking to Mrs. Larla.  I say yes. DS pipes up and yells that they are speaking to Larla and Larlo here, and dances around. When I give him an annoyed look and walk into another room telling him to stop, he follows me in still hooting and hollering. The consequence is that I forget to check for an earlier appointment time and I have to miss Meet The Teacher unless I call back and get through to dentist (Not always possible).

-On neighborhood walk with dog, he walks into other people’s lawns, touching their plants, or else walks right on the area the dog is crouching to pee and scares him by mushing his face into the dog’s. On a 10 minutes walk I counted 4 reminders.

-Two days ago he climbed a pine tree against our advice. He did it wearing crocs and floppy gardening gloves so I’m not surprised he scraped at least 2 layers of skin off his arm and chest. When we went grocery shopping that afternoon he lifted his shirt to show terrible looking wounds and blabbed to everyone about it, and also told them about drinking juice while talking a bath. The cashiers stared.

Is this all normal behavior or is he on the hyper / nonsense side? He is also constantly talking. Constant. When we visit cousins he is the only kid who has a constant stream of words coming out.
