New Purple and Yellow Bears (taken by Preston)
Snuggled up with blankys and bears!Preston is becoming a very clever big boy now and spends a lot of time on the computer, playing Nintendo and buying iPhone apps and that sort of thing. We are very proud of his abilities and talents! He loves singing and making up songs and rhyming at the moment which is pretty entertaining. However he has also been testing our patience quite a lot with his defiant behaviour and selective listening issues... grrr. Things have been getting me down lately and reading debate on the upcoming referendum has been making me feel like a terrible mother, and makes me feel quite depressed when I see how many people I know have the complete opposite view to me. At least Dan and I have the same view on parenting, and sometimes (very rarely) we just have to do what it takes to discipline an extremely disobedient child and in those cases, the situation is instantly diffused. There is only so much verbal negotiation that a violently angry 3½ year old will respond to....

OMG It sounds like we have such similar children (even down to fletcher buying aps on davids Ipod that he didnt know about!). Fletch is very very strong willed and we have screaming tantrums everyday. i cant take fletcher to any shops anymore becuase he will have a tantrum as there are so many things he wants! so dont feel bad - you arent the only one trying to manage preschoolers behaviours and at their wits end! let me know if you find a solution though.
