School days and settling in
This weekend was so busy, there was no time for blogging. So my standard posts are a little late…as for my monthly music post. Let’s just say, I think it might not happen this month! Good job the linky didn’t…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
School Days – Harvest Festival and awards
Time’s marching on. I can’t believe we’re nearly at half term, and I’ve now realised how inconvenient school really is at holiday time. Despite both of N’s old nurseries running holiday clubs, the likelihood is that I’m going to end…
Mystery party invitation
I expected the party invitations to start when N started school, but it wasn’t an invite from a reception child that turned up for N. In fact, if we’d had it just appear and not be handed over in person,…
Month of Firsts 13 – school and sheep
The year is whizzing by, and apart from the one huge first – starting school, I think we’ve been fairly short on first achievements. For N it’s all been about starting school. In September, N has Gone straight into full…
Bogey Princesses
It seems N is now all about boys. He’s been talking recently about all girls being ‘bogey girls’ (including me, his aunt and other previously girl friends). And over the last couple of months he’s turned anti-princess. It started when…
School days – Macmillan Coffee Morning
Four weeks into school and the tiredness has kicked in for N. He had a huge nap yesterday which is pretty unheard of (I think he goes weeks and then has a mass catch up), but seems to have been…
School days – the one about wellies and water
Week 3 of school is complete. I’m surprised at how many children only started school this week, when so many others started 3 weeks ago. But then, so far it doesn’t seem that N’s done anything on phonics, maths (other…
A challenge – name calling and VIP
So far, so good at school. At least I think so. 8 days in I’m still to work out whether he’s actually sat down at all apart from one picture. He told me he’s done no numbers or counting and…
Introducing children to sports – a tennis open day
I’m a big tennis fan. Well, not as much as I once was, but racket sports are my thing. At school I used to pretty much play everything in a team being tennis and squash captain at 6th form. Once…
Pocket money or wages for a four year old
N isn’t old enough yet to get proper pocket money. It’s obviously different for every child, but we’ll probably do similar to what my mum did and agree that he can get pocket money on the assumption that he’s kept…
First day at school…in trouble already
It’s September which means only one thing. School time. Yes, it’s finally here, and N’s had his first day at school. While many mums have found it really emotional and have worried about how empty their life is, I was…
