Kim... we posted at the same time!

Its funny the girls were at day care today and I was talking to the worker there and she also mentioned about the 1/2 year thing! That they are inbetween ages and... then I zoned out but yes, shes almost 3.5 and its getting tricky!

Olivia is and has always been a good eater, so its not actually the food thats the issue, because if I sat there and spoon fed her she would eat it all up. She just seems to have taken this helpless role on or maybe shes just lazy? I dont know? Shes also been saying that shes not a big girl and that shes a little girl.

I have tried the 'look your sister is doing that all by herself' but she doesnt really respond to that.

We have a fair few night terrors here too and sometimes it will take up to an hour to console her and get her back to sleep. I should be thankful that most of the time when she wakes me at night, she wakes me to go to the toilet. In saying that the past 2 nights she has wet the bed. No changes in routine either. Only a few weeks ago i was mentioning how well she was doing with holding her bladder overnight. I think that lasted a week!

I try and not wind things up, but I also am aware that she shouldnt be getting what she wants because her scream can wake up a whole post code! It just has me in tears at times. I dont want to cry infront of her, I dont want to cry because of her. I dont want to yell at her either. I am just finding it all a bit trying. I think my hormones dont help though and am just about cranky at everyone and am getting fairly emotional!!!
