    I just spent the last two weekends camping with GS9 and other scouts; the first weekend was a pack event with families included and boys from 1st-5th grade. The second weekend was a boy scout event where Webelos, 4th & 5th graders, were invited. I've always joked about GS9 being 'high-maintenance', but after comparing him with the other boys I think the best one-word description is "INTENSE".

    eta: At least the other parents got a glimpse of what it's like being with him full time.

    Mine for ds right now is "insatiable." I think I used "intense" on another board last year!

    I think hyphenated words work, wicked-smart, teacher-pleaser, etc. I'm considering changing mine to Mia's, insatiable. Or, maybe intensely-insatiable!
    I'm just pooped from the last two weekends.

    Oh dear, just 1 word? I don't think I'll do well at following directions either lol

    In personality I think the 1 word is Charismatic

    In terms of energy - Exhausting seems to fit!

    So Charismatically Exhausting?

    Exhausting, yeah, that's it!! How about Intensely Exhausting? Or Exhaustingly Intense? Mine was off from school last week for fall break and I was pooped by Thursday. I let him watch TV most of Friday because I just couldn't keep up.

    Depends on the day. Yesterday it was "Exasperating"! Sometimes:
    Exhilarating
    Hilarious
    Intense
    Magnified
    Mischievious

    I can only sort of follow rules...
