It feels like we haven’t been swimming for ages, although because we finished later than usual, it’s only been around 4 sessions over Summer that weren’t on…oh and then we missed the first 2 lessons of term. I did manage…
It’s week 3 of our CSMA Club #NewThings challenge (you can also see week 1 and week 2), and this time it’s all about trying a new food. CSMA Club have some tips about saving money on food as well,…
N’s role play is really coming alive now. He’s been a bit limited before and it’s mostly been involving driving vehicles. But now it’s much more make believe, and making up stories using items that maybe aren’t relevent. It’s definitely…

Someone in our house has been Mr Independent since turning 3. This means: toilet training (‘no mummy, get out, stand outside the door, I don’t need help’); getting dressed (debatable as sometimes he’ll do it, other times he’s thinking about…
Soft toys, teddy bears, cars…what do children take to bed with them? N has his favourite soft toys that he’s had since a baby – Peter Rabbit was his newborn present from his Gran, and he’s always loved it. His…
