My ball of energy and non-stop talking is almost 9 and STILL going strong! I agree, the "moment of silence" rule has to kick in. I tell my kids 'Mommy needs 5 minutes of quiet time". Sometimes I even tell them, ENOUGH! Mandatory quiet time now! Go read a book, take a rest, but it's mandatory quiet time now" or else I lose my mind! DD even talks in her sleep and sleep walks so let me tell you.... SHE NEVER STOPS! LOL! Their minds are constantly going and for a verbal child, they just can't hlep it
