Who hasn't had an ounce of sugar today yet this must be about the 8th time I've been up to her to try and get her to sleep and each time she is more wired than the last.
Send help.
If she wakes her older brother up that will top me off Shock

My 3yo has crapped his pants 3 times this evening. Naturally, DH is down the pub MIA the bastard and I had to more or less throw the baby into the cot and sprint to the toilet.

Both of them are mercifully now in bed and quiet if not asleep, and I'm drinking wine, doing a massive load of laundry, and contemplating boiling the entire house.

My 4 year old has just come down stairs to tell me that her teddies are all being naughty and keep waking her. Hmm she has gone back up to bed, let's hope she stays there this time.

kaytee I thought that contained "a caffeine like substance"?

He has chocolate when he asks for it, which is very rarely. All food makes him hyper though, for about half an hour after a meal or a snack.

@kaytee87 sugar most definitely makes my 2yo hyper - caffeine does too, but sugar alone is enough. I 100% know this thanks to BIL who is a “fun” uncle, who gave her marshmallows Angry.

She also gets pretty lively after too much orange or apple juice too. (DM thinks it can’t possibly have any negative effect on behaviour as long as it’s organic...)
