Everyone's heard the phrase 'choose your battles'...I have a nearly 2 year old and I feel like I don't choose enough battles. He is fussy with food but I don't like to cause a fuss so I just give him what he'll eat and take away food when he doesn't. He doesn't like getting into the bath so I put Peppa Pig on the iPad to mesmerise him long enough to undress him and get him in. He's difficult to change his nappy, again Peppa helps me out. In fact Peppa Pig helps me out a LOT at the moment. Or the dummy. If he's 'planking' getting into the buggy, I shove the dummy in and that usually sorts it. He's not unusually difficult or anything, I just prefer to take the easy option than 'discipline' too much. At his age should I be though?
