Heather is going through a difficult time at the moment. She is unable to decide whether she loves her little " Flinlay boy" or not. Sometimes she is so kind and loving, giving gentle hugs and kisses, becoming possessive and protective if other children come too close to him, saying comments like "My Flinlay!!!!" , or gets concerned if he is left too long by the side of the pool. However other times she will crawl up to him, get nice and close, then suddenly smack him on the head or puts her whole weight on his stomach or bounce him recklessly in the bouncy chair. Put it this way...Finlay felt the wrath of a plastic plate over his head!!!
So now we are helping her through this difficult time, keeping a very close eye on the interaction, telling her that we can't hit little babies and then we praise her when she shows affection and is gentle. She is as bright as a button and knows when she has done wrong and has been known to take herself to the naughty step!!!!
