Hi Melinda.

Angus is just a couple of months older than Jacob, and he will actually do as he's told sometimes now. It's a new thing though. He will come away from things when we call him, which is a great new development. We say no sometimes, but I think I tend to say 'ah ah', and 'Angus, come away from the birdcage, come to mummy', stuff like that. And of course, like you say, making a fuss of him when he does what you want.

So I'm thinking it's an age thing, they start to want to comply at some stage rather than giggle at you and keep doing whatever it was.

Nothing works for us yet with the tossing food off the high chair thing though #-o
