Life im general

Phew! Dinner plans for Peanut #1 have definitely resulted in an improvement in eating. And in a 1 million % reduction in shouting which is great.

In fact Peanut #1 hit an eating milestone yesterday so she got her reward, which was to go to the Pub and have popcorn. So we did that, just her and I, and we had the joint to ourselves, which was nice, and there may even have been a little daddy-daughter dance party, much to the amusement of the bartender.

In fact, yesterday was pretty much a perfect day.

New approach to dinner... god help us...

"This is your dinner. We will sit with you while we all eat. You don't have to eat. If you do, you get a reward. NO pressure"

Man do I hope this works.

So Peanut #1 is very tantrummy these days, and it's super stressful and unhappy making.

So we check the blogs, and they all say it's normal, and that we're handling it properly, etc etc.

But mostly what I want them to do is tell us how to make it stop.

Stupid long term changes.

Anyway, we're gonna start a sticker chart style thing to see if we can get her to eat her dinner at least.
