Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi! Emerence will be 2 on Valentine's Day and she is super active as well. Her doctor even pointed out and laughed that it figured the child who least need to work off the calories was in perpetual motion. However Emerence just keeps moving, running, etc...what you mentioned about moving arms etc relates more to my son, non RSS age 5, who has hypotonia/low muscle tone that was quite severe when he was younger. He needed to constantly move to keep his balance - does Alyssa have low tone? Let me guess, Alyssa probably is like Emerence in that she fights taking naps, sleeps less than any child you know and is just on the go all the time... I totally understand the Energizer bunny reference too! , mom to 5 and Emerence almost 2, SGA, poss mild RSS, 28.5 " 19 lb 5 oz. -- In RSS-Support , Dayna Carney <daycarney@e...> wrote: > I have noticed something with Alyssa and wonder if anyone else has/had this > experience.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Coby is 2 yrs and 3 months old. He is on the go non stop as well. Dr. H commented on his activity level when he was just 9 months old. Coby is low tone as well. However, he sleeps pretty well. He will take a nap without much fuss and sleeps longer then Carlee, but they are still both up atleast 2 times a night at different times. They have to sleep through the night before they leave for college right????? le, mom to: Shye 10, Brock 8, and Coby (rss) & Carlee 2 yr old twin terrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I feel your pain! Emerence too does not usually make it one whole night without waking up. Two weeks ago at 3 am after tossing for an hour in my bed (my husband was the lucky one who escaped to my son's extra bed!) she was definitely not sleepy and sat up and started singing Frosty the snowman to herself (quite loudly though)...wasn't too funny at the time but now it cracks me up! I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but she HAs started sleeping a bit better now that we put her in a toddler bed 3 weeks ago. She will be 2 on Valentine's day. , mom to 5 and Emerence almost 2 28.5 " 19 lb 5 oz. > > Coby is 2 yrs and 3 months old.
