This is not a major problem I am sure, but had to take a trip to the docs this morning, nothing serious but I dreaded it even so. I seem to have absolutely no control over my DS, he won't tolerate reins unless we are walking some distance, won't do his pushchair as he fights and kicks. I just had to let him wander about the surgery whilst I tried to find books, anything to keep his attention. The looks I got ranged from sympathy to horror (don't care about that tho) Ofcourse the doc was running a bit late so this panicked me a bit. We made it and got out ok, but will we ever be able to go into a situation like that and perhaps I might feel that if I ask my DS to come to me he will! The other thing that seems to have started recently is shouting, everything he does is shouty and loud - I sometimes say to him that people are sleeping and sssshhh (a sort of game really) Is this toddler behaviour...will it pass? Yet another phase....

I have another contender over here. He is relentlessly noisy and mischevious at the moment. Our recent trip to the doctor's resulted in him practically dismantling their water cooler and heading full pelt towards a room marked strictly private with me practically rugby tackling him to the floor to stop him. By the time we'd been there 20 mins people weren't even pretending to read their magazines any more, just watching me racing around after a 18mth old monster.

The good news is that it did pass with ds1 (now 3.6) but has reignited now he's seen ds2 running about screeching.

I just hate the docs, and will do anything to wait till I can do the whole thing with DH. This isn't always possible and the sun was out this morning so I went ahead and booked. Then sweated and ran the whole journey/waiting time in my head. Its only the docs that does this, we are fine anywhere else. When does this phase get better? Its funny cos I couldn't wait for him to talk, but wasn't prepared for the volume bit!
