Hmmm Tegan sounds like she is strong willed lol reminds me of my Jessica. Unfortunately most things they do to get a rise out of you, and how you react says whether she will continue the behaviour or not. Sounds like you guys are doing all the right things though. Obviously she loves the attention she gets when she does things and repeating your UH UH shows that. She has already anticipated your reaction adn she likes it. So maybe you need new tactics. Have you tried changing the activity, like when she goes to do something you don't want her to start something good that may interest her. Say for example if Jess keeps climbing on the bench and I don't want her to, I need to find something else to occupy her, take her into the lounge room and get the blocks going or a video she likes or books or get her doll and pram. Most times kids behave certain ways for attention, once they realise that you aren't going to react the way they like they move onto something else. It is challenging you! Of course you have less energy now which makes it harder for you too. Hope you can settle down some f the behaviours, but it does sound totally normal. How are things going other than Lily, how are the wedding preparations, not long to go now!

Kellee- I have put on a couple of extra kgs since QLD visit lol, just so easy in winter. And you know you are right I don't think I understand QUIET!! lol To be honest I don't think I like quiet, and prob that is why it isn't like that here very often. There is always action LOL Charlie will rob take a while to come out of his shell, I know Jemma took about a term 10 weeks of gymnastics bf she would talk to the gym teachers and join in all the activiities. Some kids take longer to adjust than others. It will be fun when Toby starts to want Charlie's stuff. We have lots of fun with that here pmsl

well have ran the sewing machine solidly today, am starting to prepare myself for xmas stuff, need to start that prob in OCt, so preparing now, organising dsigns and going to sew them out as samples on scrap material. Also I had some jackets I had brought my girls and my niece that I wanted to add pics to so hve just finished the last one, they look great.
anyway arron is at school tonight and Josh is too sick for swimming so we are home. Josh is going to bed at 7.30pm cos he can't get up in the morning and we are late for school bc of him. Arron had a great idea for me tonight, how bout I make him a letterhead for his pest control business tonight instead of playing games on the puter!!! That man needs his arse footed. Firstly it will take no time at all to make a letterhead, and secondly he has no need to worry about what I choose to do, he does what he wants and I don't questin it, he watches what he wants, if he wants to go to the TAB he does or if he plays games he does. Man that annoys me lOL
ok enough whinging
have a lovely night girls
