My 18month old baby turned into a toddler at the weekend, tantrums about not getting his own way, planking and rolling when trying to dress him, refusal of all green foods, refusal to leave nursery, 1 positive he knows when his nappy is dirty now. As with all toddlers he likes his independence, so we give him choice when we can - highchair or normal chair etc but he doesn't always really get it!
We have him on a schedule, bed times and sleep are mostly OK.
He is generally a good eater, and happy to try new things but gets very annoyed when his favorites have run out. Hunger is a definate trigger point for tantrums, but he would rather wait for that peice of melon or whatever to appear than eat the food we have offered him.
We are bringing him up daul language so I expect his speach will be slow to develop.
So oh wise MN'ers what book would you recommend for some advice on how to deal with the toddler years and remain sane?
(I've also a 2 month old, so a second toddler will be in the mix before to long as well.)
