Dr Pixie warned before that children reaching 2 will start to push the envelope with you. Caleb turned 2 this January. But this post isn’t about him. Last night I smacked Caitlin- the grab-her-arm-so-she-can’t-run-away smack; the night before Hot Mummee smacked her too. I have had long car-ride talks with her about being the big [...]

When babies are just being babies, you tend to forgive them when they are flailing their arms and legs around and inadvertently hits or knocks something over.
