"As a parent you try to maintain a certain amount of control and so you have this tug-of-war...
You have to learn when to leg go. and that's not easy"
Aretha Franklin

So right....about the tug-of-war bit as you would think that eating dinner was an easy thing to do yes? dinner is cooked, it's put on a plate and the plate is put in front of you and you eat it right...wrong not when your the Bear....last night we had a show down over dinner.....he didn't want to eat and mum wanted him to eat...so we had a very interesting time...where mum took jeep away from Bear and packed up all the toys in the living room and Bear sit in his high chair and cried, yelled and carried on...until mum asked if he had been a good boy today and so should have a swing after dinner? "Yes mum very" was the answer...."do you think it's a good thing to refuse to eat your dinner?" asked mum "No" came the very quite reply...and so dinner was eaten all of it and a swing was had and all were happy.....

Fun and games i can tell you....


by the way did you know that Emus and Kangaroos can not walk backwards...
