OMG!!! my DD is the same way. She NEVER stops. She talks nonstop, and demands you talk back to her, runs, dances, jumps, whatever, you name it. I have a newborn at home and by the time 8 pm comes I am beyond exhausted. My daughter goes to daycare everyday, but in addition to that does ballet/tap, tee ball, which will start soon I hope, and have a trampoline thing in her room that she is constantly on when not trying to jump on the furniture.
I have recently invested about $50 in come craft stuff from Michael's craft store. I bought markers, crayons, felt sticker things, tons of regular stickers, different kinds of child safe decorative scissors, glue sticks, pom poms, construction paper, etc and put them in plastic shoe boxes, and in the evening I get one of the boxes out and let her play with it at the kitchen table. It really has seemed to help with some of the hyper activity. I also got her a big play-doh kit with a table and tons of stuff. She gets into that some too. But both of those only last, at most, an hour before she is bored and ready for something else.
Oh how I can't wait until Spring so it is warm enough for her to go outside!
