My son is like that too. It is absolutely exhausting. He’s not mean spirited in any way. I know that the guy that I end up with will have to be really really patient and understanding of kids.
They are talkative and some boys can be really impulsive. They do the stupidest things. My son is not gonna sit nicely and do an art project. If you give them rough and tumble type of interaction - chase after them, give them rides, wrestle them to the ground - hide and scare them - it distracts them and they just love the attentions.
They are eager to please and you will get more with positive reinforcement. Noticing and making a big deal about how quiet he is being or how nicely he is reading a book by himself.
