Gosh Vic, I just realised how close you are getting to your due date - Wow, that seemed to go fast (maybe not for you hehehehee)
Funnily I was thinking of toddler behaviour as my blog inspiration tonight, but I digress.... Tantrums seem to have eased off here, that seemed to happen when Bailz joined the toddler room and his speech exploded - I am thinking it's because he can communicate better and is frustrated less. I am knocking on wood as I type though that the tantrums stay away Funnily enough though I have this theory on Bailz - as he is a good napper (and now a great sleeper overnight - only took 2 years LOL) he rarely gets overtired and that is always the trigger for tanties when they occasionally do happen. Our Physio once asked us if he gets tired easily as she thought it would be likely as he's always been quite lacking in tone (eg floppy kid) and in reflection I can see that we'd never really had any issues at bed time or nap times and that is probably the reason why (I'd like to claim my brilliant parenting as the reason, but who are we kidding PMSL). Anyhoo, I think that's a factor for us - less issues with over-tiredness which translate into a happy little chappy most of the time.
However while the majority of the time we are tanty free - Bailey's trump card is selective deafness. He has brilliant hearing though, he can hear me take a food wrapper off from 20km away and be standing next to me seconds later begging for my food However his selective deafness while totally frustrating at times, is rather cute, especially as I tend to just say "Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey" over and over until he turns around with the cheekiest of grins (ok, so I over-did it on the Bailey's LOL)
Anyhoo, what was I talking about again??
Oh yeah .....
So currently my kid is pretty easy (but far from perfect, but perfectly a toddler IYKWIM), however when we are posting in this thread in 13 years time and I have the most annoying teenager in the group, remind me that karma is a biatch However speaking of Karma - sometimes I think the universe has given Bailz enough grief with his Hip Dysplasia, orthotics, tone issues and the like and is currently being mega kind - but hey, I'll take it
