DS is just 4 and has just started school full time. after collecting dd, mindee and him from infant i walked to junior to catch up with cm friend.
DS came to me with half a leaf and ask me to put it in buggy,look around and realised i didn't have lo today so no buggy!
he asked me to carry it and i said put it in your pocket, i haven't got any hands letf as i'm carrying book bags, coat and bread.
he said no put it in my book bag, i gave him his bag and asked to do it himself as my hands were full...
Well he got himself wound up and started shouting whilst doing as he was told, once the leaf in he threw the bag at me!!
i told him to don't think so... and refused to pick up the bag...
he went in FULL MELTDOWN MODE he kicked his bag, screamed, lay on the floor...
and my reaction as i look at my little boy first ever public display? when i look at his eyes getting bright green with frustration??
I burst in fits of laughters, tears rolling down my face
the look of the parents wasn't great. A part of me was feeling un professional, the other part of me thought "being a childminder doesn't mean i'm nanny Frost" and the other one was thinking " yeah right what would you do Nanny mcphee?"
at the end of the story he did say please for me to take his bag, he cried because he didn't want to walk and 200meter later he was fine and playing, all was forgotten.
what would you have done??/
