does anyone live about 10 minutes away from me? I would like to bring all my food over and keep it in your garage

[Cappuccino]

I can no longer store food high enough up to keep it from the grasp of dd2 (3)

we get home from nursery and she runs in shouting "Can I have a fruit bar" and starts going through cupboards

she can open the childlock on the bottom cupboard no problem so I moved it to a wall cupboard

she just gets a dining chair and climbs up

so I put it right at the top and she starts walking on the worksurface

removal of child = tantrum

I can now no longer store cereals (she gets the boxes and fetches a bowl for herself), bagels, bread, biscuits, fruit bars or raisins anywhere in the kitchen

and yes I do have a fruit bowl which is ignored

so if anyone lives in the North West of England maybe I can keep my stuff in your garage and drive over when I need it - that might be far enough till she learns to get a bus

thanks in advance

put chilli flakes in the cheerios cappie.

good idea onebat

and I will dip the fruit bars in hot pepper sauce

NorthWest here with a shed...but then a mouse jumped out of my compost heap a few weeks ago so probably not a good idea.

Why don't you just hide her dinner in the cupboards?

I am too in the NW but dont havea garage - have a shed with spiders though!

I am dreading this phase = DS is nearly one and is into everything. Never had the tantrum things with DD, but I can see this one being much worse...

that is genius idea

I mean she still wouldn't eat it or anything like that

I have this and I simply tell BabyDragon that she mustn't do that.

i used to live in southport once upon a time

Me too zippi

i'm in the northwest too. It would not be advisable to keep anything in our garage / house / shed as the mice have access to two of these and the kids to the other. you figure out which should be which

ah Soupdragon I will swop you your compliant Babydragon for the Littlest Latte

she screams hte place down

Did I say she was compliant?? I said that I tell her, not that she ever takes a blind bit of notice unless it suited her purposes

Must say I'm tempted to swap just to see whether Dragons scream louder and longer than small cups of coffee... 20 minutes in the car on Thursday because I'd dared to pick her up from nursery...

oh no you might be winning

only 15 minutes because she didn't want the purple jumper on

but with tears, if that gains more points

Oh there were Dragon tears too... [sigh] The only consolation is that she does it everywhere. The nursery staff made the mistake of only letting her watch 15 minutes of a Christmas DVD once... [snigger]
