How To: Keep your cool when your Toddler gets into your craft stuff

  1. Go to bed at midnight, due to working on blog and just having some "me" time
  2. Neighbours across the road start running up and down the street yelling
  3. Don't get to bed until 3am as Toddler won't settle because of idiots across the road... these are the same people who beep their horn at all hours of the day and night to get someone to move their car instead of getting out and asking them nicely. 
  4. After constant trying to get Toddler to sleep in own bed, give up and let them sleep in my bed 
  5. Spend next three hours getting kicked in the back and head and getting laughed at by Toddler
  6. Eventually have enough, snap at Toddler and tell them they are going back in their own bed
  7. Fall into bed and sleep until Toddler comes in at 7.30am
  8. Get up, put telly on (as I know I really can't deal with making up games with Toddler)
  9. Give Toddler breakfast, make own and have a coffee
  10. Toddler finish coffee and turn telly off as Toddler playing with houses and heavy things on the wall
  11. Toddler then runs into my bedroom and gets into craft things
  12. Find Toddler trying to put craft items back into their jars, looking upset
  13. Realise that Toddler is just as tired as I am and quietly help them put it back, praise them for helping put things back and acknowledge that it was an accident for it going everywhere
  14. Take a deep breath and relax - another coffee and a nice shower shall help reset everything and writing this blog post will help too!
