Every single movement my 3 year old makes is like a professional pose.  Even if it’s just a matter of standing still, a hand has to be placed on a hip or a leg at a certain angle.  Talk about a supermodel in the making… thing is my wannabe model is a boy not a girl!  Not that this makes any difference to him though.  He has me laughing out loud the way he prances around the house like he’s come straight from the catwalk.  In fact come to think of it, he’d probably put Naomi Campbell to shame!

The funny thing about it is he’s totally oblivious to everything he does because it’s just one of his many funny traits.  To say he’s stubborn is a complete understatement which doesn’t even come close to reality.  God help any future girlfriends he may have because they don’t stand a chance of getting their own way.  No bribery or corruption works with him.  Believe me I’ve been there done that and completely failed in the process.

He is a definite ‘mummy’s boy’, which has now turned to the extreme.  If it’s not me that does everything for him it just won’t do, and anyone elses help will quite often be rejected with screaming and throwing of items across the room.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great feeling to know how much he loves me but the exhaustion of it is beginning to hit home and can be stressful and difficult with two other children as well.

With all the above in mind among other things too, and after a pretty disastrous routine 3 and a half year check , discussions with so called ‘experts’ about his behaviour patterns etc have turned out the problems we encounter with him could be more than just him being naughty and may be something more.  This idea is a sort of relief in a way knowing its not his or our fault.  The one thing I know though is this – Whatever the outcome of all these discussions, he’s our little monkey no matter what and if things can get better it would just be a bonus because we love him ‘naughty’ or not!x
