Jamie's behaviour has been a complete nightmare since Christmas! He constantly pushes the boundaries, does things he knows he shouldn't, ignores us when we tell him "no"...he has been a regular visitor to the naughty chair over the past few days. He keeps climbing on chairs in the kitchen to reach and play with the sink, or the microwave..the other day we noticed just in time that he's put a bunch of keys into the microwave and was about to turn it on...could have been nasty! A huge sigh of relief is breathed once he's in bed.
I'm putting some of it down to the lack of routine over Christmas, and being stuck indoors a lot because of the snow. And, we have waved a sad goodbye to the lunchtime nap, once and for all. Whenever I tried to put him to bed, he'd scream and shout and bang his wardrobe doors..not good at a time when Daisy is catching some zeds herself. So I have reluctantly conceeded that he no longer really needs it. But god, it makes the days seem much longer not having that 2 hour break in the middle to catch my breath from the whirlwind that is Jamie at 2 and a half. I realise now just how lucky I've been that he was still having a 2 hour sleep when Daisy was born, and for the first 4 months of her life. But anyway, I'm sure we will adapt to the new routine and find things to fill the day...it will be nice to have some one-to-one time with Jamie in the middle of the day while Daisy sleeps. But for now, Cbeebies is my friend ;)
