Nursery parent’s morning
We had N’s second parent’s evening morning the other day at nursery. While we get a daily write up of what he’s been up to in his book, I love going in to find out in more detail how he’s…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Toddler communication: grab and drag
Those little fingers have some serious strength in them. N’s getting pretty good on the communication front whether it be talking or through actions. In particular he’s a big fan of the grab and drag method which works well for…
Teaching toddlers rude words and actions
I was hoping to have some lovely photos to share of N at the fair, but unfortunately he’s been off colour today so the nearest we got to the fair was driving past a couple of rides on the outer…
Hair early today, hair later…first barber visit
N seriously needed a trim having had his last hair cut courtesy of my sister-in-law’s sister back in July! So I decided I needed to take him to the barber as I couldn’t be bothered to make an appointment, for…

Bathroom copycat and toilet follower

Poo and working from home with toddlers
Apologies now for the tmi…we’ve had an awful lot of poo the week from N. As it’s predominantly the stink and colour that’s so vile I’m now tending towards the ‘teething’ poo theory rather than him actually being ill. He’s…
Nappy changing games
I have just seen the funniest thing…not really good when you’re trying to have quiet downtime before bed. N’s now at the ‘do what you get told to do’ stage in terms of putting things away and trying to do…
Noisy sleeper
Good god, N’s a noisy sleeper. On our recent road trip he was in a different room for the first two nights, but on the last two he was in a big family room with me. We stayed at my…
