You city folk must have busy lives! The last party W went to had invites a couple of weeks before and an RSVP of the friday before the sunday party. But us country bumpkins don't have much else to do (seriously!). Will do them this week.

G, toddlers are hard work to take out. I hated taking W to the shops, he had to 'look' at everything so I spent all my time returning stuff to shelves. He wouldn't stay in the pram, wouldn't sit still at a cafe for more than 2 minutes etc. It was just not fun. Somehow I got lucky with A and she has been a cafe kid from about 18 months - happy to sit at the table for a reasonable time etc and W is old enough now that we can actually go out for lunch. Going to be ruined again soon when the baby gets mobile, but for now I am loving it!

Cally, I looked at sleepwalking on Dr Google and apparently the 'treatment' is making sure they don't hurt themselves. Very helpful.

ETA, Ginger, are you worried about J being over the top hard work? Or are you happy that he is just a normal toddler tornado? Obviously W isn't normal, blind freddy can see that he has too many quirks to be mainstream. Hard to admit that there might be more going on with your kid than you can attribute to normal toddler behavior.
