    What do you think your kids' NY resolutions should be?

    As the title says, what do you think your kids should promise to do/not do?

    ETA: I think Amelia's first should be to stop grabbing my iPad as I type She hit send before I was finished!

    Anyway, I reckon Milly's should be:
    - Stop trying to stand on my head when mummy's trying to feed me
    - Stop trying to crawl off the side of the bed
    - Practise standing up by myself and walking.

    For my nearly 5 year old:

    I will not run into my bedroom and throw myself face down on my bed every time I don't get what I want/get in trouble/the weather changes

    I will not try to out-do any number of the Academy Award Winning Actresses at every chance I get

    I will not tell Mum that I dislike every healthy food available to man-kind before I have even tried it.

    I will eat more healthy food

    I will try not to throw things when i get cranky (bored, sad, excited...)

    I will learn not to double dip my sucked on food into communal bowls.

    I will talk more than scream/squeal.

    i will not attack Mum or my sibling to be born.

    I will try to be less destructive.

    (its been a rough day)

    - will continue the awesome loving and beautiful girl she is

    DS - will continue to grow out of all of his clothes in 5 seconds flat
    - will learn to get into anything and everything
    - continue loving his cuddles and being the happy smiley boy that he is

    DS - please realise you can in fact sleep in longer blocks than 2 hours at night time, preferably in your own bed (which is still in Mummy & Daddy's room so your not far away!). Mummy would really love to reduce these 4+ night wakings and needing booby to get back to sleep, to a modest 1 or 2. Zero night wakings would be uhmazing, but I am not setting the standard that high. I would be so very pleased with 1 or 2 so I can feel human again. And while I love having you in our bed, I think you'd do better in your own bed so you're not stirring allllllll night to find your precious boobies .... and so Mummy & Daddy can have some Mummy & Daddy time in their bed again

    DD- learn how to go to sleep by myself, or at least it taking less than an hour- 15 mins would be awesome. (1.5 hour so far and can still hear her talking **** while DH sits patiently there)

    Some people have all the luck

    I was in such a crappy mood when I started this thread (still kinda am) but you're right. Aside from the painful little habits she has, I wouldn't swap my Milly for the world

    DS: I will toilet train myself tomorrow.
    I will stop headbutting things.
    I will otherwise maintain the current status quo and trajectory of my development, and be delightful in all ways.


    Ziggy: I will stop kicking/headbutting your cervix, and will stop giving you m/s and heartburn - effective immediately.
    I will be birthed with absolutely no issues.
    I will feed and sleep in the same manner and pattern as my big brother, other than maybe being a bit quicker at the actual feeding part.
    I will otherwise maintain the current status quo and trajectory of my development, and be delightful in all ways.


    Furkids: We will stop barking at night, and will ignore all advances made by possums.
    We will otherwise maintain the current status quo and trajectory of our respective development, and be delightful in all ways.
