Today was the first long day in charge of 4 yr old grandson all day. Can anyone tell me how a 4 yr old can still be energetically running around at 8 o'clock at night - without a nap all day - while grandma was ready to give up about 3 p.m.?

Looks like a nice place to be. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry you are being defeated by your grandkid. Hard innit?
