I have 3 kids now. Number one was a breeze so I thought "I can do this" and had number 2. Whole different ballgame! He is 12 now and still the most complex individual I know. It makes life tentative sometimes but he is so exciting, clever and loving that it is all worth it. Of course, he was an individual at 6 months of age and no longer a baby. Yes, that is how I came to have number 3. What a sucker! LOL! It sounds like a familiar tale! I have 3 kids now. Number one was a breeze so I thought “I can do this” and had number 2.

A change in one sustem forces changes in other systems. Remember this when he is a teenager and if things start going wrong again. Change something and see if his behaviour changes. Now that my two big kids have left home, I am loving being their mother....lol....I am reluctant to change anything lest they return home!
