Mine and My
N’s at the amusing stage where everything’s ‘mine’. It’s always ‘MY this’, ‘My that’ or ‘MINE’ all said above normal volume. It can be a bit annoying when items clearly aren’t his, or if he’s taking offence to other children…

Rocking, garden style
We’ve not had much outdoor play recently, and now I’m back at work we’ve only got weekends to do things, which are taken up with chores. Last Sunday N did manage to get a fleeting chance to play in the…
Swimming backstroke
“On our back we lie nice and flat” so goes the song at Waterbabies to prepare them for swimming backstroke. But until now (and we’ve been swimming since 4 months old, he’s now 27 months), N’s flat out refused to…

I’m happy as I’ve managed to catch up with leftovers now, after the NCT crowd came over yesterday and we had some of the chilli leftover. So that’s one lunch for work, and then leftover chicken & ham pie for…
Television Thomas
Oh dear, it seems to have started. N doesn’t tend to watch kids tv that much. Generally he’ll ask for Tractor Ted (think we need more versions as he’ll know everything about milking and pea harvesters, but that’s about it)…
Post Easter fun
Today we had our post Easter NCT get together. Now I’m back working full time, it’s not often I get to see everyone, so it’s great to be able to catch up and also for N to be with his…
Baby hints and tips 4: memories and family
Number 4 in my baby hints and tips series is a bit of a mix, but it’s based on memories and family time. Having a new baby is obviously a time when you’re finding your way and trying to work…
