I read in a Parenting magazine... many moons ago, that around 18 months life gets more normal. How is it normal when my 2 yr. old is climbing on everything?

It's still not back to normal and he is near 4yrs old.

Welcome to the 'new normal.' I have one child who changes the whole mood and activity in the house when she is home. I wonder if you welcomed one of those special (Ramona Quimby) children almost four years ago?
