I just popped in here for a second and heard a strange rattling sound happening in the lounge room. Benjamin was up on the front of my TV cabinet and had stuck the Video he had just watched into the VCR backwards. I saved it before it got wedged but OMG! He's just too quick these days for me. Blink and he's into something else.

Tracey - No, we still have a bin in his room atm. BTW, Benjamin enjoys smacking us from time to time. Often it hurts also and he gets quite nasty about it. Yesterday morning I was woken abruptly out of sleep when the little bloke punched me in the eye. He hugged me better and then did it again. At that point, I ordered him out of our room and into the lounge room. He's such a bully!

Kristie - Benjamin's worked out that he thinks it's ok to hit back at us if we give him a smack. Even if it's on the hand. Half the time he laughs at us now. He doesn't answer you if you yell at him either, but knows where his room is if you send him there. Oh, the fun a games we have as parents just wait til they hit the dreaded teenage years...
