Hey there chickies!!!!

Meg - The whole thing about using a 'naughty corner' is not very appropriate for a 12 month old developmentally speaking. A great idea that is appropriate for any age (well, I use it for nearly 10 and 11 year old girls as well) is the idea of time-out, but not the traditional "you must sit in the corner/on the bed....", but time-out which involves the parent and child doing something quiet such as cuddles, reading a book - just to calm the situation down, and also as a diversionary tactic. Maybe even suggest Pinky McKay's new book 'Toddler Tactics', it's supposed to be really good.

Jodi - Yay for Nina!!!!!!! She's growing up so quickly!!!

Caddie - Hope your nephew doesn't have the measles, and I hope that your girls don't get sick.

'Spose I better try to go back to sleep now - got about an hour (prob. less) earlier, then Ambah woke up for a feed and now my brain's going 100 miles a minute - not very good for trying to sleep.
