Noni - Ohhh you poor thing, I hope this ms passes soon. Hope the bands work, you'll try anything with ms hey!
Cally - Hmm the biting sounds painful. We have been doing much the same as you with this issue, its hard isnt it. Keep at it she will take the hint soon enough.
Andie - Hopefully not reacting to Jack's climing will stop him. As for the hitting out at others, M has started this as well. Funny how fast they grow and begin these little behaviours.
Trillian - Good luck!!!!!
Leemar - Aww glad your DH is coming home!
Just wanted to say, we are coming to Melb next week and the reason why I havent organised a meet up with you Melb girls is because I simply dont think I will have any time free! Knowing how much of an organised person my SIL is, no doubt she will have each day planned out. I hope you didnt think I was being rude and dont want to meet.
Another little behaviour that M has started is yelling/screaming for attention. At home I tend to ignore it and say 'use your indoor voice please', (which I know she doesnt understand yet but one day it will sink in lol!) However at the shops lately she does it. Today I was in posh country road, (usually I dont shop there but I have a voucher) and she was yelling and screaming, it was beginning to get on my nerves and a tad embarrassing. In the change room she got even louder. I tried everything. In the end, I took her hand, gave it a little slap and said 'No yelling'. Ohhhh did she cry. I felt terrible! Is this the right thing for me to do, are there other alternatives? I always told DP I dont want to be a mother who smacks but today I have given her a slap on the hand, I think I let my frustration get the better of me. Its not a hard smack at all but I think she knows it means she's in trouble iykwim.
On the other hand, I discovered today that country road sell kids clothing and I never knew before.....uh oh!
Ohh forgot to mention, I am becoming an ebay queen like MD. MD you will be proud, I got an absolute bargain that arrived today. A pair of current season clarks sandals, only worn by the previous child for a month and in great condition for $10 plus $7.80 in postage!! Bargain considering the lady paid $60 odd. They fit M perfectly.
Also our marquee that we bought for our wedding (cheaper to buy off ebay than hire can you believe) arrived today. The guy came to my door saying 'your exercise bike is here'. Huh!? Soon figured out it wasnt my exercise bike, it was meant for someone else, it was our marquee hahaha! Could have ended up with a bike instead!!
