My frustration is coming from his overly dramatic personality. He falls and skins his knee and cries like he just got hit by a car! I feel as though I am on edge with him all day because he is so "go, go ,go" all day. He is so easily bored and he always needs something to do. This was a bit easier for me before I had my second son who is now six months. He's so intense and everything is such a big deal in his mind. I feel so bad that he's frustrating me this much because he is such a good, loving, kind hearted boy but my head is spinning all day. Any thoughts?

Oh my gosh! This is our DS8 to a T. His first two years playing soccer if he got bumped or tripped he wouldn't jump back up like his team mates--instead he would go flying through the air, roll once or twice and then writhe around on the ground. We used to joke that he wasn't learning to play soccer, he was in training to earn an Oscar for some future dramatic death scene. It was truly something to behold. This year (second grade) he finally dropped the death scenes from his soccer playing, but he is still intense, intense, intense and yes, still exhausting (and sweet, and lovable, and....).
Kriston: That's perfect! I could definitely have used that strategy a few years back. Who knows, it may still come in handy
