My 3yo seems to tire very easily. He doesn't last more than 10 or 15 minutes with most physical activities, even the really, really fun ones. I thought it was just his age, but most others his age are the energizer bunny. He also seems to get tired a lot more easily than his older brother did at that age.

He eats well. His weight is good. He appears strong and has good muscle definition for his age. He gets plenty of sleep.

Any thoughts or experiences?

Have his adnoids checked

My 2 year old was always a little sluggish and tired out easily. He also snored like a bulldog. I fought the f***ing Dr. for over a year and finally got his adnoids checked. Turns out he had VERY enlarged adnoids. Basically... he wasn't getting the normal amount of oxygen. He had them removed earlier this year... and now he's a completely different kid. He's got more energy, and never stops. (sometimes I want them to put the adnoids back in, hehehe). It wouldn't hurt ot have him checked out.
