Toddlerisms 4: Rock child
I can’t remember whether I’ve previously mentioned that N is keen on rocking. Obviously the influence of his dad’s music taste is stronger than mine, given I like music that I can either sing along to or dance to. Although…

Meal Planning Monday: 18th February 2013
Just a quickie this time as I’m exhausted and need to get some sleep. I’m joining up as usual with the week Meal Planning hop over at Mrs M’s. Some days may change depending on what the OH is up…
Chewing gum
We were never allowed chewing gum as children (I once got caught out, don’t think my mum believed me at all!), but I quite like it now. I reckon it really helps keep your teeth clean, but I’m quite picky…
Lambing season begins
There have been a few new lambs up at my brother-in-law’s buildings, but we’ve not yet had a chance to get up there and see them. However, this afternoon N didn’t have too long a sleep and with the sun…
Old School Pancakes
Although Pancake Day was on Tuesday, as we weren’t well enough to have them then, we had our pancakes yesterday. Nothing like a wait to build up expectations. Every year I make the batter using Delia’s recipe – supposedly making…
Rabbit Rabbit
N’s quite partial to rabbits. Not like that, before your mind starts whirring and wondering, given he’s only 2 years old! He has a Peter Rabbit soft toy which his Gran gave him as a present when he was born….
Dad confusion

Toddlerisms no.3: Chill
Another toddlerism, this time it’s ‘chill’. After meals N likes to chill with his dad. This usually involves clambering all over him while he’s trying to rest, sitting on his chest/head/arm, or simply cuddling up with his taggy blanket and…
Potty progress
There’s a distinct ‘toilet’ theme over my last few blog posts about N. We’ll go with it though. Previously N’s used the potties in the bathrooms to put his toys on or in. He’ll occasionally sit on one before having…
Meal Planning Monday: 11th February 2013
It’s the start of the week again. I think the meal planning’s going really well. Much better on the food waste, and easier for planning preparation throughout the day. Not really seeming to get much cheaper when actually shopping, but…
Party trick – tongue twister
My son is strange. Or rather his tongue is strange. He has a party trick already, at the age of 2! He’s just started sticking his tongue out (not brilliant), but I’m intrigued. He can make it into a (rounded)…
