I was going to title this post "Feeling exhausted" and then I thought no, Malika, don't play up the drama... I don't feel exhausted but I do feel tired after a day with J. Not that he was so difficult today - he really wasn't, and there was lots of his moments of sweetness, touching affection and funny takes on things to make it nice, and special, to be with him, on the whole. But he is so hyperactive. Talks nineteen to the dozen, constant running commentary on things, physically just constant, constant - jumping, swirling, running, doing fake karate kicks, jumping on my back, touching everything... He was tired after a late night last night (and didn't sleep correspondingly late) and this, paradoxically, makes him even more hyperactive. I'm not even complaining, or trying to make it be another way than it is... but I do find it annoying and difficult to deal with when he keeps jabbing me in the face or jumping onto me... At the same time, this incredible energy that never diminishes, physical strength and co-ordination probably means he is going to be a gifted sportsman. I'm hoping to get him started with rugby soon - that should suit him
