[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a typical "actuve" boy. I have two of them. It can be isolating. My advice would be to stop going to library story time. Get him involved in classes that get him moving. Little Gym, gymnastics, swimming, Gymboree, JW tumbles. Whatever you have near you. [/quote]

I thought he would enjoy it because he can sit through a book or two at home, and he loves to listen when I read nursery rhymes in the tub (he watches my face intently). We do Gymboree 3x a week and it's always great, he loves climbing on the ramps and flinging himself on the mats and going down the slide by himself. He also loves parachute time and watching the teacher sing and bring out Gymbo (he always runs up to give Gymbo a kiss). He sometimes participates in the activities (mostly when it's banging on the air log or putting sticks through the traffic cones) there too, that's why I thought he'd enjoy playing with toys at during the free play. But he's never been big on toys (he can stack 10 of his giant blocks) and he loves to empty out containers and fill them again, and will push the buttons on his musical instruments and than turn around to make sure we are watching him "dance", but other than that, he's not interested in any of his cars or trains whatsoever. He usually runs from toy to toy for a few minutes and than gets bored.[/quote]
