Water guzzler
I’m a tad worried amazed about N at the moment. He’s always liked a drink…water that is, not beer (although the OH is always trying to trick him into drinking the dregs and froth of his Guinness – bleurgh, N obviously…

Bottomless pit
I’m permanently amazed by how much food N can and does put away. I shouldn’t really, given that I can put away a fair amount myself, and of course he needs a lot of fuel for all the running around…
Slapped cheek?
Rashes are strange things, especially when they appear on children. Immediate panic if you always think the worst, or if you have a child like N who tends to get a few spots frequently, and the occasional prickly heat style…
Swimming woggle success
Whoop whoop. For the first time N swam a whole width on his own with the woggle. Usually he kicks when you’re holding on to him, but as soon as you let go, he stops kicking. But this time (and…
Birthday party fun
So far, given he’s only 2, we’ve not got into the perpetual cycle of birthday party after birthday party. Apart from informal ones which are just piling into soft play or general play sessions, he’s been to his 4 year…
Blenheim Palace visit

N’s turned into a little runner. Being a toddler, he runs everywhere. Whatever he’s carrying, he tries to run with it. Thumb in his mouth, and he’ll run. It does worry me sometimes, as he’s not the most careful. He’ll…
Mini Masterchef
I think I wrote recently about N enjoying ‘helping’ me cook. Here’s the post if you missed it. He’s definitely a mini masterchef in the making. I have to be so careful as now he thinks he’s a pro at…
Giveaway: Dribble bibs
I couldn’t (and still can’t) believe how much N dribbled from the age of about 3 months. He’s now got all 20 teeth but is still dribbling – I reckon he’ll be at school before he stops, although the amount…
Music for children
We’ve never really played nursery rhymes to N. I do have a cd of them which I played once in the car, but I wasn’t keen on the grating versions and N didn’t seem that thrilled with it so we…
Cheap ride
Before I had a child, I always pitied the parents in shopping centres having to drag their screaming kids away from the pay character rides they have wherever you turn. The children wanting to have another go, the parent needing…
