I am always inspired by your posts, and your comments are always ones that I put a lot of weight in, so even if you think you are the worst mum in the world at ties, there are tonnes of us who don't & who are becoming better parents because of you.
I whole-heartedly agree with that! Well said Theresa!

Perhaps with what happened today........maybe Matilda felt that by her asking for the food, rather than by being sat down and given it and just expected to eat it, she felt as though she was in control, and as though it was more her choice to eat IYKWIM? Whatever it was that was different today, you sound so much more relaxed and at peace with things! I'm so pleased!!!
