    They are often like this about my DD - her last carer was heartbroken when she moved up a room. But about a week or so ago I picked her up and I could just tell from the carer's face that she had had a bad day with her - could hardly even look at her. So the day will come when they see the other side I am sure!

    You were so right Pixie! That day came a couple of weeks ago! The halo was definitely left at home and they were horrified!! He didn't do anything really serious, but was just doing things he knew he shouldn't and then when they asked him not to he was giving them the 'watcha-gonna-do-about-it?' look and doing it again All totally normal behaviour for him at home but they seemed quite worn out by him that day. I was like and couldn't keep the smile off my face for hours into the evening. They were so shocked and kept saying they couldn't believe how naughty he was! But then, of course, they had an immediate explanation, even though I wasn't concerned and probably looked quite pleased actually They think that he is probably bored in the 0-2 year room and they're probably right. Mondays are particularly bad because the group in the room that day are all quite a bit younger than DS and a lot aren't walking so he does get bored. I think they have been counting the Mondays down until he moves up (only one to go now!) although they still claim they don't want him to go!
