I’ve seen lots about the Reading Eggs programme over the last few months, but not done anything about subscribing. When we were offered the chance to try it, I jumped at the chance. I’m really trying to encourage an interest in letters…
After yesterday’s toilet training post about how we N did it, I wanted to share my top tips on toilet training boys. Ok, so really toilet training any toddler, but slightly more relevance to boys given that’s what I’ve got…
