Felt mean saying that about ds1 so vowed to chill, even when he wouldn't eat a mouthful of tea (despite bribes of chocolate for pudding), had no pudding (strict mummy), took toys from ds2, etc.
then he threw a toy at me - he has these odd days when he has what i call 'the devil in him' and just drives me bonkers!!!
has to touch everything, fiddle with everything, climb everything, etc.

Plum - i know it's just so tough, on everyone!
he looked longingly at a toy pizza later and begged for some food so i gave him some bread & butter (& a shortbread biscuit we'd 'baked' together earlier), he looked at the plate then at me,
'is this for me mummy?'
'yes'

Good morning . Another bad night but dp took over sort of well he laid in bed and helped me tell dd no while she lay shouting for her jack in the box and cola cola I promise I have neve given her cola so she is either been very random or I need to find a new nursery . Talking of nursery I can't decide if I should let her go this afternoon she is still a bit snotty and coughing but is asking to go.

ALI sounds like you have a hectic day today hope it is not too stressful.
