Just wanted to add a little incident that happend this morning ... regarding the tantrums.
I gave dd her vitamin-syrup and told her to hold the spoon for me. She was sitting on my bed and as I came back to wipe her mouth, I asked for the spoon back. She, being the who she is, placed the spoon firmly under her armpit and said "mine" So I asked again and tried taking it away (OK, I could just have left her with the spoon, but it's sticky with syrup and we had to go to day-care .. what is that saying about picking your battles??) So in the end I took the spoon from her with a polite thank you and WHAM ... she arch her little back and started to throw a tanty. DH was on the bed with us. I left her like that (sort a under his watchfull eyes) and I did not take two steps, when she rolled over twice and off the bed
I felt so bad!! She cried a little and could not decide who is to give chugs and dry tears ... daddy or mommy. But in two minutes time she was back to her old devious self
Noted, Nadine! He fell off the bed the other day and yeah I felt so bad too! Had a nice red mark too!
Well, not as bad tantrums today, just when I tried to put him in his car seat. Is this normal?
And whinge-y, omg. And clingy. Whats happening? Let go of my legs! I have hot water. I'm baking. I'm trying to get you food. You were happy a couple of minutes ago, pushing the washing basket round the loungeroom.
Sometimes, the only way to make him happy is to give him food, namely fruit. But, then I worry that i'm giving him the wrong idea about food and he's goin to have a bad diet in the future...
He could eat a whole punnet of strawberries, greenery and all if you left it in front of him too long.
