Ever since I noticed that there were going to be Gruffalo trails in forests around the UK, I knew we’d have to go on one. We missed the Stick Man trails, and N does love Julia Donaldson books, and The Gruffalo film so we were going to have to get to one of them. I […]
As I said in this post, N loves music and I wanted to have a musical focus for a time before introducing him to something new. I have to admit that maybe that was a bit ambitious, and that it probably would have worked better in the winter when we were stuck inside more. Now […]

We quite often sit around the edge of the swimming pool before our lesson, waiting for the previous class to finish. N finds this amusing as it’s a younger toddler class, and he watches them doing the old activities he used to do when he was younger. Many in the class have been going since […]
I’m a bit late on our round up this week for the 300 picture book challenge. We’ve read about an average number of books, including library books, but we’re still going through old books like anything. There’s been lots of talk about the Gruffalo this week because we went to one of the Gruffalo trails, […]
I’m always amused by the discussions that N and his dad have. They always seem very different to those I have with him. I dread to think what they might turn out like by the time N’s older and supposedly wiser (or maybe not if his father continues to spout nonsense at him!) N’s toilet […]
It seems three year olds love being like their parents. N is definitely one of this group, as he loves to be like Daddy, doing ‘jobs’ on the farm (on Sunday, he spent almost 3 hours on the farm with his dad, riding on the tractor and helping clear out barns). And he also likes […]

I’m really competitive when it comes to games. I always was, and with a younger brother who was just the same, playing games was interesting in our childhood house. I don’t really remember our mum playing with us, apart from maybe Monopoly and Trivial Pursuits when we were older, and then a bit of Ludo […]
Bit of a last minute rushed round up of the week. But there’s been a bit more activity wise as it’s lighter in the evenings. It’s now a struggle to get N in after nursery as he always wants to see what his dad’s doing in the farmyard. Sunday: We tested the Dyson DC45 […]
While my OH thinks that anyone who uses social media and forums is a stalker, I like so many other people love the fact that you can end up making real life friends after talking online. Today, we were meeting up with a friend from an old baby forum when we were pregnant. Several of […]
