This may be more relevant for parents with children who have Down's syndrome, but I don't know!!
Lottie is just so ... naughty really!
It's sort of cheekiness and sort of wanting her own way and sort of not understanding soem things etc etc.
But if I say to her wait there for mummy please, she'll walk off.
If I say come upstairs please she says 'yes mummy' then sits on the bottom stair. I stand at the top and repeat, she repeats 'yes mummy' and doesn't move till I do the counting thing, and then so painfully slowly.
I say 'don't take Eve's rabbit please, it's her rabbit', she says 'my rabbit' over and over and over and then snatches rabbit from Eve - cue screaming. Then I say 'hey, that wasn't nice give it back to Eve please' and she'll either refuse saying 'mine mine' or she'll give it back really sweetly with a 'here you are eve', like butter wouldn't melt.
Everything, and I mean everything seems like a battle and I feel exhausted.
Anyone else?
