Oh toddlers

So I figure that after a certain age you should just start figuring things out for yourself, but I find advice is something I frequently need and since I have not one friend with kids i have no one to go by. So my son hasn't let me feed him since he was about 10 months old. I figured it was a phase but no, he's 17 months and still refuses assistance. He's a very messy eater so we are limited in food we give him since he refuses help. Anyone ever struggle with this? Also, what is in the realm of normal for hyperactivity in a toddler? I mean my son is go go go. He is busy busy busy and he's so busy there are moments I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I've never seen anything like it. Also, when we try to brush his teeth(he usually does this every night) he truly acts like he's being murdered. I mean like the possession. I wasn't like this at all when I was a child. Does anyone have any advice? I mean he's too independent and he is beyond hyperactive. Is this just how toddlers are?

Lately I find myself wondering if Kate has some degree of ADHD. I mean she's just all over the place - like I said - both verbally and physically. Then we spend an hour with other children and I realize she's very normal. Since we are homeschooling now I do have to work VERY hard to make sure she's getting physical activity everyday. On the days she doesn't have gymnastics we often go to an indoor trampoline place or something similar. At the very least we break out the jump rope, hula hoop etc. He needs to burn off lots of energy right now. At his age we lived in a small apartment. I purchased a few climbing toys that took up a large portion of my dining room but really helped when we couldn't get out for exercising. Oh and a mini tramp if you haven't bought his big Christmas gift yet ????. Do you do any mommy and me classes together? Really great for him but also will enable you to see he is a very normal 1 1/2 year old. It's my favorite age and I miss it so much (first time in 25 years I haven't worked with children). Enjoy!
While exhausting, it is one of my very favorite ages and I miss it so much!
