He is learning to walk, climb, talk and testing his physical limits and learning new things. This comes with falling down, surprising, hurting and bumping himself over and over every day. Since he does not yet know how to go with the flow and roll with the punches, he tends to be constantly anger or frustrated with himself because of not knowing how to handle this. By the end of the day you end up with a really exhausted toddler.At bedtime things are often crazy because he has things wondering though his head on what he did that day and what he wants to do the next day, this often leads to having a hard time fall asleep.
