The Adventures of Remy, the never-stopping, monekybar boy.

My first child, Donny, is laid back, calm, cautious, thoughtful and responsible. He's also 11. My second child is very sensitive, high-strung, rambunctious and daring, with a seemingly never-ending amount of energy. This is Remy, who's 6. I am devoting today's entry to my attempt to keep up with him the last couple of days and capturing it on camera.

We discovered a new playground (still exploring our new hometown) over the weekend. Donny was on crutches, so I took Remy to play. He is obsessed with monkey bars right now and getting pretty darn good at them.

Do your children go up AND down slides non-stop? Over and over and over again?


I can't believe it, he found more monkey bars...hidden under the playscape.

Where did he go? I turn my back for a minute, and he's found a new hideout!

Here he comes, the never-stopping, constantly in motion, wonder boy (with the ever present red crocs on his feet)!


Now, fast forward to the next day, and he's stuck at home...and has to make his own fun. No jungle gyms in the house...or is there? Here he is trying to get Annie to rollover. She doesn't get it.
Now, she's Annie the wild labrador horse. Giddy-up! (she is sooo patient with him!)


Remy loves Annie so much but I think she's starting to reach her limit...

ok, maybe not. She loves her boy. She's content to let him get his energy out. Way to take one for the team, Annie!

Oops, maybe I spoke too soon, the look on her face in this picture is definitely a "help!" look.
And, then, fast forward one more day...another playground. This is the playground by our house, literally less than a block away. And, it has....drumroll please...monkey bars! Notice his extreme concentration...and the tongue comes out!

Down the fire pole...
and back home again, he has stolen his brother's crutches and is trying them out. Does this boy ever get tired? NO!!! He didn't want me to take a picture of him with the crutches, so I had to sneak this picture.
Yet, as I write this, he is home sick now, because he started throwing up this morning. Poor little guy. Does he have a virus or is it just time for me to change out his batteries? Remy, the never-stopping, monkeybar boy is taking things slower today.
