Ruby has in the last week or so found herself an imaginary friend called, Monk. Monk, helps her eat her dinner; he was chain sawing the couch and helps her pick what to wear, among other things. He seems to only get a mention though when Ruby is over tired, this could explain the weird things he does some days.
Ruby is absolutely enthralled with Dinosaurs at the moment. Did you know they made at least 7 different 'The Land Before Time' Movies? We didn't either until we went to get Ruby a kids Dinosaur movie from the Video shop. Some days we will have to feed the Dinosaurs, that are in our back yard, a snack or other days they are jumping on the trampoline with us.
Our little 3 year old has been causing tired mummy a little bit of grief the last couple of weeks, with no afternoon nap both mum and Ruby are grumpy and over it come 4pm. After butting heads and having way to many smacked bums an attitude change on mums behalf was implemented. Thank you to the Super Nanny, we now have a good girl chart and a naughty step and both of these a working much better than a raised hand and voice ever did. After seeing that Ruby will get a present when she gets to the end of her chart, Daddy requested that he have a good boy chart too. Ruby has 5 stars on her chart and Dad has 2 stars.
Oh and we are going to have to invest in a cheaper computer for Ruby, she is now very keen to send emails (copying mum). She doesn't realise that emails are suppose to be sent to people who you don't see everyday and will ask or tell you that she is going to send an email to her bubba, to mum or to dad, even if we are sitting right next to her. Ruby has also learnt how to turn the sound up but attacking the dial on the mouse and will without notice come into the office and bang away on the keyboard, creating a huge mess on the computer.
