    Unlikely @B3 I can pronounce that!  Hands up anyone who was embarrassed by Go-eth and Ni-etch and several others 

    Edited to say: still on starling watch!  The tits and robin will have supper!

    Toddler has been crying for about an hour because he wants to play with the rake in the greenhouse and I can't make him understand what a monumentally bad idea that would be. :| 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I seem to remember that some native American tribes would allow their children to experience the consequences of their actions, like touching fire. They didn't need telling a second time.

    I sort of used the same principle with my daughter. There was a fashion for cycle pants or whatever they were called. I didnt bother with potty training. One summer's day in the garden, she wore them without a nappy, peed in them, suffered the uncomfortable consequences and never did it again.

    He can rake all he wants in the garden but a toddler waving a long, heavy thing in the greenhouse is never going to end in a good lesson for anyone. :#  He was 'helping' me tidy up in the bigger greenhouse earlier and I think he's very taken with all the exciting things to mess about with in there. He's actually been quite good at triage in the plant hospital. Sickly plants I should have given up on long ago have been tipped out onto the floor while my back was turned and sent to the compost heap where they belong.
