I returned home from Convention 2010 (what a great time I had too!) on Sunday afternoon to a sick baby girl! Poor "M" has been unwell for a week. She has an awful cold and over the weekend was sick after drinking her bottles. Thank goodness, she hasn't done that since Sunday. Oliver behaved himself for the most part of the weekend which is good to hear as we have been having behavioural issues with him at school for the past 3 weeks to the point where I just broke down and cried last week which made him very upset and (touch wood) he has been good since. I'm not sure why his behaviour has been so bad, but it is NOT what either Rob or I have taught him to do (hitting, pinching etc). I have been embarrassed to pick him up of an afternoon expecting to be told he hurt someone.....not a nice feeling at all. Anyway, I am working with his teacher to curb his behaviour and it seems to be working - thank goodness. Oliver has always been a good natured, very friendly little boy and to see/hear him acting like this, really breaks my heart. I'm sure some of you know what I am talking about.

Let me say that Oliver's behaviour is really quite normal. I went through it with my now 9.5yo son, when he was in Kinder and at the time found it was a huge shock. I too got to the point where I was completely embarassed collecting him at the end of the day - I was filled with dread at what he could possibly have done wrong because it was becoming the norm.
I spoke with a number of 'qualified' people and was at my wits end trying to deal with such a drastic behavioural change.
Take heart, it will get better. It takes time, then you're on to a new phase :o) don't expect it to pass quickly, it took a good year for us.
