6 year old – all about hugs and kisses, love and hearts
I loved N at 5 years old, but at 6 he’s coming into his own and really is a loving little boy. My brother was the same as a boy, really loving and caring with our mum, whereas I always…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
School days – after school clubs
This week’s school days has been uneventful. It’s strange because it’s been calmer but N has been much more tired than normal. Add to that a horrible dry cough that comes and goes in the evenings and night, and it’s…
School Days – World Book Day and pancakes
Another week, another end of February and that meant a busy week at school with not only pancake day and World Book Day. N has mixed views on both although anything involving food is going to win with him. Onto…
School Days – fair awards and star of the week
We’ve only had one week back at school since half term, but it’s felt like we’ve been back forever. I think we got the better deal for the weather compared with those off this week, but now it’s getting lighter…
Friends – the rules for a 6 year old boy
Boys are a law unto themselves. N definitely knows his own mind and he’s gone through life so far, being easy going. So easy going about everything including friends. I find watching him develop and his friendships change really interesting….
School Days linky – Robinson Crusoe and spellings
Wow, we’re into half term already. I know many of you aren’t yet, so the #SchoolDays linky will be open for a couple of weeks to capture everyone’s ends of term. Hopefully those who’re off this week have some nice…
Conversation starters for kids – how to get yours to talk about their day
I love having a chatty son. N loves to talk (I wonder where he gets that from), although he does pick his moments. Sometimes he’ll be quiet and focused, other times he’ll whitter on about nothing. Sometimes I tune it…
How to make birthday party planning easier
I’m not a party planner. I’ve not even organised that many birthday parties. I’d probably rather have a smaller get together with friends, but when you have children you can’t get away from holding at least 1 birthday party. I…
The big transition from baby and toddler swimming
I couldn’t imagine not having swum with N from a young age. My own journey with learning to swim was very up and down from age 5 to 7, and the OH isn’t keen on swimming, so I wanted to make…
School Days – VIPs and junk modelling
This week’s School Days post is a little low on insight this week. Damn that N was ill on Sunday and therefore couldn’t be back at school until Tuesday. VIP x2 N was awarded VIP 2 days on the trot…
The birthday interview with a 6 year old
Last year I was really impressed with N’s willingness to do one of the ‘interview with’. He even agreed to do it on camera. And for the first time I got more out of him than previously. So I had…
