My middle Padawan

My Middle Padawan Mr. BB may not make it into Apprentice stage. In the last week, he has climbed up the outside of the 2 story wooden play structure at the park, tried to climb up the outside of our house, and decided that I just have to take him to the skate park in the next town over to ride his skateboard, of course lets just forget the fact that he can't ride it on a perfectly straight sidewalk in town.
I am not sure where he gets this intense need to be doing something all the time. He had it from the start. He never crawled or scooted. But at 8 months and 3 days he... ready for this.... RAN. And hasn't stopped since. We thought we were ready for it but we weren't. I dread taking him to a state or national park. I don't really want to see him climbing a mountain when I take my eye of him. LOL.
We got him into sheep riding, he vacillated a year, then when he was a little past 5 he told me, "don't you remember, I want to ride sheep again. I said I'd do it when I was 5 and I wouldn't be scared!" Ha.
He wasn't kidding.
This year not only is he riding sheep. He's started exhibitioning in calf riding also. He seems to like it. I will have you know I am one of the few moms who can hang a sheep rope and I'm learning how to hang a calf rope. I still can't quite figure out the damn knot, and I'm terrified to take it out of the rope at home, because I won't be able to get it back in.
BB plays soccer also, during the city league. His coach asked him to play travel league this last year but with the sheep/calf rides and the traveling we just couldn't travel anymore. Well I guess we could, but I gotta work sometime.
BB is also in Kajukenbo. We had to take a break due to money for awhile but he is back and going strong. He really likes it. It keeps him busy.
After all this you'd think he'd fall asleep into bed.
Nooooo.
Sometimes I have to plead, cajole, and threaten him to go to sleep.
He is not technically considered ADD or ADHD as he can focus in school an so far his grades are good. He is just out of first grade though. He doesn't want to home school, as he likes the arts program at the school. He was in the talent show this year and in Kinder he was a flying monkey and a munchkin.
I am not sure how we are going to make it in his teen years. Frankly the thought of BB driving scares me to death. And I have 9 years until that happens. I am not sure if the need for speed and thrills will get worse or better or stay the same.
Until then we will just keep him moving, moving, moving. All the time and see if that will help.
