Our little madam....

was really naughty tonight and has drawn all over the couch in crayon! We are thinking that she is jealous as my DH was holding zoe and she is now not number one and daddy's girl. Then while DH was getting her bath ready she went and did it again!!

Anyone else's darlings done the same things? and what do to about it? she still gets alot of attention.

Going to put all the crayons away and get them out for her supervised.

I'm sure Maya did something similar to Emma.

Ouchies! Hope it comes out. I too think I've read of Maya doing the same to Emma

Yeah Andre was a bit like that whenever Josh was held by either of his grand fathers. He went really naughty and did anything to get attention.

Argh! Yes she did! I could have slapped her silly! But I didn't lol! I just threw all her pens and felts into the rubbish as she had been warned time and time again not to use them on the couch.

But she is a lot older than Lucy and she *knew* it was wrong, I'm not really sure how to approach it if you think it's an attention thing. Maybe explain to her what she has done is wrong and why (coz we don't draw on furniture/walls, now Mummy has to clean it etc. etc.) and, explain about how right now Zoe needs some attention but she'll get big sister time when Zoe is sleeping and maybe suggest some other ways to get your attention if she wants something like asking nicely or waiting till you're not busy with Zoe.

Good luck!
