The magical power of mumsnet adopters

[roadwalker]

My DD is asleep
OK I have been up x2 to her but she is up there asleep without me! Obviously I just had to post on here for this to happen

Before putting her to bed, did you feel any different after posting? More relaxed maybe? If so maybe DD picked up that you were less tense.

Whatever made it happen, wooohooo. Here is to a good nights sleep for you both xxx

Yes

We have the power of group thought!!!

although I'm also genuinely gifted with magical powers. Sh, don't tell anyone

Sssssshhhhhhhh. Don't break the spell.

Hooray!

you're welcome.

Anything else we can do?

I hope she continued to sleep well the whole night.
I may well be picking your brain about melatonin soon.

Well done everyone! Can you stop my DS from flinging food and hard objects? Or is this just the dreaded "phase" (he is, to be fair, only just 2).

I will consult my grimoire for you drspouse and see what I can come up with. No promises mind - it might be that the only thing I can find is a spell to turn stubborn and willful toddlers into toads. Which I'm sure you'd prefer I didn't do

We tried ducks and chickens a lot softer, quack! quack!,

I am not a witch < sulks>

I am a good fairy < twirls >

So pleased for you.
Onwards and upwards.

Result! Do you think now you could all stop my dd whacking her sister? Please?
