As promised I wanted to give all you lovely grannies an update on my progress with my grandson. Who was driving me crazy. As I said before I had looked after him from just a few months old and before lockdown everything was fine. But in those 3 months so much changed. It was a shock to the system that I never anticipated. I was foolish to think that we could just carry on from were we left off. He had developed so much. So I had to give my head a good wobble and adjust to the needs of my grandson. I now have a renewed relationship with him which is truly beautiful. I have learned he is naturally full of energy. That needs to be burned off in a controlled way. The best buy was a trampoline he loves jumping and this does the trick. We also have a swing, a little car, football and paddling pool now in the garden. He hated being strapped into a high chair of any description so I had and idea. I got a childs table and 2 chairs from IKEA and we now sit together and eat our meals he loves to sit and eat his food quite happily and has now mastered the use of his grown up fork. He is also teething which I now realise is one of the reasons for his anger. He is also going through the phase of dropping one of his naps. So he gets overtired and angry because of this also. But now I have the knowledge and equipment to deal with whatever he wants to throw at me. Lol! He is going for a taster session at nursery tomorrow, I think he will love it because he loves other children. Then if everything goes ok he will be going 2 days a week and I will just be having him for one half day a week. You guys made me realise there is nothing wrong with him. He is just a beautiful baby boy with tonnes of energy. I am glad I posted on here because it made me do some research instead of trying to remember what I did with my own children. Because all children are different with different wants and needs an I was using outdated techniques. I thought because I have brought up 3 girls then I should automatically know what to do. But I was so wrong thinking that because parenting has changed so much since my children were little. So it was a case of re-learning. We are now back on track and everyone is happy. So thank you everyone
