My 22 month old son wakes up at 5am, and doesn't stop running, climbing, singing and dancing, any possible "activity" you can think of until 7pm when we have to wrangle him for about an hour during "quiet time" until he eventually decides it's time him to sleep. The description "different species" seems apt because I really don't see how it's possible for such a tiny "human" to just have so much energy.
All in jest of course. My son is my world.

- azeirah 5y agoOh yeah, my two kittens (and any kittens for that matter) were notorious in this matter. Play like nothing matters for half an hour, run, jump, sprint, crawl, scratch, everything like your life depends on it. And then just fall down on the spot for like an hour or two, followed up by a repeat of the same cycle. It's cute to watch, but also kind of scary. They just look _empty_ after that intense a playtime.
- rubyist5eva 5y agoI never thought of it that way - it seems my son has a near permanent case of the zoomies!
