  1. Grumpy/naughty/whiney/bolshy.

2)Sleepy/quiet/cuddly/clingy?

And how do you get them into camp number 2?

Jess - number 1
Boo - number 2

Becky is my dream child though - 13 mnths, 2 sleeps a day and 13hrs at night.

so, how do you stop yourself from killing number 1?
Do you like me tell yourself through gritted teeth "they are poorly, its not thier fault"?

DS2 - couple of spoons of calpol and he's usually fine for a few hours and also likes cuddling up on sofa and watching telly
