aaargh! Usually school walk home is pretty pleasant, ds1, who's 4, is well behaved etc but as soon as we happen to walk home with another child he gets over excited, runs off ahead and doesn't stop when i tell him to, generally acts cocky and annoying. Because it doesn't happen often it's hard to put rules in place, and i never know when someone might walk home our way! As i say, on his own he's great.
