N is usually pretty well behaved. We missed the terrible twos. Although we seem to have got a bit of the ‘threenager’ behaviour coming out now. Most of his extreme behaviour (well, anger) when it erupts is down to his wanting to be independent. So there’re certain jobs that N thinks are his and woe-betide…
Bossy Toddlers
N is definitely going through the bossy toddler stage. He’s very much an independent little boy when it comes to doing things round the house (within reason, he’s still too lazy to potty train or make an effort to get dressed/remove clothes when I ask, the latter only happens when he wants to do it)…
Toddlerisms no. 11: Muse me
N’s not doing too badly at being polite. He says please (mostly), thank you (lots) and pardon me (very occasionally). But he’s got a new phrase…”muse me”. It’s meant to be excuse me, but he’s not quite got it. Because he’s missing some, and generally says it as he’s walking straight through or in front…
Want a shower?
I’ve talked in great depth before about N and his previous love/hate relationship with baths and swimming. Thankfully now he loves both. But we’re still struggling with showers. He will now agree to sit in the bath at one end while his dad showers in the other, and doesn’t cry when the shower gets put…
Biting toddlers
Does your toddler have bad habits like biting? N doesn’t bite. On occasions when he’s playing he might go to hit me, but so far I’ve been able to just tell him that ‘hitting’ not nice, it hurts people, and that he shouldn’t do it. I ask for an apology…he knows when he’s done something…
