Pikz O completely refused to sleep with the duvet.
Tried earlier in the week. He mumped and cried in the cot - he never does this - the sheep finished and he was still whining.
DP went up, put him in the bag, and he shut up instantaneously and went the fuck to sleep straight away.
WTF?!
O is trying to assert his independence 
. There have been many battles today. It has been a SHIT day. Shit shit shit! Me and O are as stubborn as each other. Lunch and tea became a ridiculous battle, which ended in only cucumber batons being eaten for lunch, and a piece of toast with vegetables for tea . Spoon feed is okay for breakfast - but not lunch and tea?! And won't spoon feed himself. So what do I do?! I'm not giving in to finger foods all the time. He got no fruit after his meals today. If meals don't at least get tried, he doesn't get pudding.
Maybe I'm being mean.
After the battles, I checked my email. Wonder week update... it's a leap week! And this is what it said...
"Now that your toddler takes his first steps into the world of “principles,” you notice that he completes various “programs” more suddenly and naturally. He starts to get on top of things. Your toddler is no longer a baby. Time has come to lay down some ground rules. Now that he has entered the world of principles, he yearns for rules. He is looking for chances to familiarize himself with them. Just as he must satisfy his appetite by eating, so, he must satisfy this yearning for rules. Most rules he will only discover if you present them to him. Social rules in particular are important. You must show him what is acceptable and what is not acceptable socially. There is no harm in laying down the law. On the contrary, you owe it to him, and who better to do so than someone who loves him?"
And in the following bullet points:
"Starts nagging and temper tantrums in order to get his way. Now it is high time to lay down some ground rules. This is an in-depth investment. It is the recipe for keeping a nice kid instead of creating a “Terrible Two.” "
So now I feel a little better. And tomorrow is another day where I am at work hah!.
