I held the TMG playgroup meeting at Hamamatsucho jidokan, and this time felt that I had been more helpful and managed to talk to all the mums for once. It is usually hard to do so with Emily clamouring for attention, but I think she is old enough now to understand when I explain why I am talking to them and not playing with her.
Back at home for lunch, she called my bluff and regretted it. She just will not sit properly at the table and take mealtimes seriously, so I told her if she sat with her legs dangling over the side of the chair again I would remove her food. Sure enough, I turned my back and she did just that, so I took away her cheese, which she had been saving until last. I don't know how long it will take for the message to sink in that I mean what I say, but I am sticking to my guns every time and maybe I can win her respect ultimately. I see too many mums cave in and am determined not to be weak.
At ballet none of the girls were very focused and all broke ranks repeatedly. Emily told me off if I tried to join in with her at all but then was too busy messing about with Charlize to listen properly to the teacher so I was a bit annoyed with her. She finished with a good curtesy though.
