Tractor toys
As previously said, we’re big fans of tractors in this house. Well maybe not myself, but definitely N and the OH. Obvious really given the OH’s a farmer, and being a boy who loves wheels, there’s not much chance of…
Blog
Britmums Live! 2013 link up
Hi to those of you I’m hoping to meet at Britmums Live in June. Scary as I won’t know anyone there (although guess I’ve chatted through blog or twitter to some/many). So, who am I? (the top one obviously in…
What happens at a 2 year health check
N’s 2 year check was an interesting experience. Not at all like I expected. We were sent a questionnaire to complete beforehand on development things he can or can’t yet do (wonder how many people lie or just don’t bother…
Changing rooms
Now N’s two, it’s time for him to move up a room at nursery from Ducklings to Ducks (love their terminology!). He’s been doing his settling in the last couple of days and it’s gone really well. I think he…
Birthday boy – 2 today
My little man is now 2. Just in the last couple of weeks he’s come on so much. He’s now 88cm tall, weighs 2 stone and has size 6 feet. In the last 2 weeks he’s been putting together words…
Birthday Preparations
It’s N’s birthday tomorrow, so the last couple of days I’ve been sorting bits out. With the snow, the plans to meet up with friends at soft play isn’t going to happen so we’ll be postponing that. He’ll also have…

Snow day
I have to add the obligatory snow post, given it’s caused a lot of hassle and cancelled events as per usual. We had snow falling from about 3pm yesterday to about 4pm today, so a fair lot. Although it looks…
Playing sleeping arrangements
As I’ve said before, N does like his sleep, and generally sticks to his regular routine. Recently though, he’s started pulling blankets, pillows, cushions (and trying to pull off duvets) onto the floor and lying down as though he was…
Switches
People always say that babies like plugs and hence the whole babyproofing thing. We didn’t really do baby proofing (apart from a ‘lock’ on the bleach & cleaning cupboard) as N was going to have to learn where he could…
2 Year Check Prep
It’s almost time for N’s 2 year check with the health visitor at the surgery. It does amaze me that they think it’s a normal environment to check a child’s development in, but I guess we’ll see how it goes…
