Ciara reunited with a preschool friend yesterday and it was a much anticipated reunion. However her attitude was really quite bizarre and I fear that lockdown life has widely contributed to this latest phase of brattyness.

The snotty toddler part 2.
Last year I wrote a blog, similar to this – Accept I probably said along the lines of how absolutely soul destroying having a clingy snotty child attached to your hip for days is. This year I’m savouring the cuddles. What a difference a year makes!

Anyone else’s kid pushing their proverbial buttons at the moment? Sometimes I have to look at pictures like this one to remind myself she’s not a constant terror, and does have a cute side.
