We have just emerged out of the whiney pre-crawling phase and entered the all’s hunky dory period. And now you are telling me it doesn’t last? Boo-hoo!

I reckon the second cuppa you’ve made the other day was for me – here’s the cake!

ah, the demom child-changers…. remember them well. Like the little fairies who come at night and spinkle funny dust around your child so you think you actually have the most humourous child on the planet, the demon child-changers come along and pull the rug from under you, literally! As well as some rather yummy 80% cocoa content fair-traded chocolate, and a rather dashing glass of pinot, I offer this from somoone who has lived through – and survived (although not necessarily realising it at the time) – two 16 months olds…… it will get better. Promise.

@Dad Who Writes, Thank you. I haven't lost it *yet*, but I fear it is inevitable at some point. And you are right - when you get the good days (like today actually) they seem so much more heavenly in comparison.

@Mwa, I am loving my afternoons with Grandma right now. LOVING them I tell you.

And yes, mirroring works well for us. Won’t lie down to go to sleep? Well, I do and he soon copies. Same with talking in a quiet voice when he is shouting.

All these little tricks huh?! I guess I’ll get better at them as I go xx
