Today when I dropped Tristan off at the gym creche so I could do my workout, he had a complete meltdown and I (eventually) went to do my workout but felt really saddened by his reaction to my leaving.

Our (current) routine
So when Tristan was small (like up until age 1) I was strict with regards to his daily routine and although I am now certainly way more flexible about it than I was then, I am still kinda strict about it. It just works for me and for Tristan. Kids like routine. Routine Our day … Continue reading Our (current) routine

I know that toddlers will try and assert themselves in situations they feel they … Continue reading Terrible 2’s?

Dinner time
Dinner time in our house has become a bit of a nightmare and battle. Since T got sick on holiday (early July) he's not been keen on food, well dinner in particular. For the last few nights it's just been unpleasant with him not really touching his food. This evening I made him parmesan crusted … Continue reading Dinner time
