I feel bad hoping she throws a fit...I would love to be a fly on the wall when you do that.

I literally spend all day long with her... with maybe an hour break if I'm lucky enough for her to take a nap. She gets up, I get up, she's awake till 4am and then I go to bed when she does. She just suddenly turned into this tantrum throwing brat overnight! Good thing she's cute!



Amelia has days when she doesn't want to get in her stroller and aches her back so I can't get her in. I learnt a trick to get her in though.... I'm just waiting on the day she works out how to undo the stroller straps!

I know how hard it is on you Mom's. I don't remember my kids being
so thick headed. LOL. We are teaching Isabella pinky-promise. Once
she pinky-promises she has to stick by that. She seems to be taking
it serious at this point so I hope this sticks with her. She has been
bribed and on rides at the mall more times than I can count.
Some kids are a breeze other's give you a run for your money.
You seem to be living my daughter's life and via-versa.
I feel for both of you.

You're doing right Mommy! Just keep it up. My cousin's baby London is the same age as Amelia. When she's with her parents, she is he** on wheels! But when she's with my mom, her Nana, she doesn't push her limits as far. My cousin and his wife will call my mom and midnight and say "London won't go to sleep can you keep her tonight." They'll bring her to my mom and as soon as she gets there she lays down and goes to sleep. That's because when London first started doing the no sleep thing, my mom put blankets over all the windows so it was totally dark and told London it was bed time. She cried and played and cried again but finally she got bored and went to sleep. Now she knows that when Nana says bedtime, she might as well go to sleep.

I know, she thinks she's the boss and right now she's taking the role VERY seriously. It doesn't help that members of her family insist on giving her cuddles when I tell her off and she crys... purely because they don't want to listen to her crying.

I can't do that with Amelia, her routine is messed up. She goes to bed around the same time each night but it's just the wrong time. It's like we're on another timezone. Once she's tired she goes to bed and sleeps 9hrs straight and is ready to take on the world again. I just need to force myself up in the morning and try to power through the day but I know it's going to take a few days for her to adjust which will leave me physically and mentally drained.

Is she listening.....OK mom's when do we tell Vicky that TT's are nothing compared to what they turn into when they're 3? It'll be our secret....she really does not need to know for another year or so.
