Hi Nic,
I have a DS born the same day as Jacob and I am going through exactly the same thing... Funny story. He has just started this screaming thing (a really really high pitched scream). THe other day he was screaming at me for some reason so I got down to his level and screamed right back at him. He stopped screaming, looked at me with his bright blue eyes and we both burst our laughing... it was quite funny. To be honest, I don't have a particular "routine" for discipline. I suppose it depends on what he is doing, what mood he is in and what mood I am in to how I deal with different situations. Sorry, I am not much help there. I agree that we are all human and we can only take so much of a "terrible" two year old. As much as my DS doesn't understand the world I can tell you that I DO NOT understand him some days. I totally understand what you are going through and I feel for you (hee hee), you are soooooo not alone. Good luck and if something is working for you please don't hesitate to post it - would love to hear.

Micky xxoo
