I don't think of Robbie as particularly active. Sometimes he gets circles under his eyes from just being tired or not getting enough iron, or something, he complains if kids make him play too much tag, he doesn't appear to be very strong or muscular, and if we have a very active day, he falls asleep early and soundly.
But, as a baby and toddler, he would often speed up into fast motion at night when he was tired. It was funny to watch, like someone had put a battery in. For his first 3-4 years, it was soo hard to get him to bed and to calm down. He always is very active with his hands. At one and 2 he built incredible structures out of blocks, now it is legos and Knexes. Now at 5 he is a wiggly kid, always standing on his head on the couch and taking flying leaps and generally making me dizzy.
