Grampy melt down
N is definitely a Grampy’s boy. Ok, so he loves the rest of his family too – cousins, Gran, Grandma, aunts, uncles, but it’s always Grampy he wants to see. Now we have a melt down (or as close as…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Final teeth
Whoop, all very exciting. N’s final 2 teeth have arrived. I had been trying to keep an eye on them coming for ages, but there hadn’t seemed any sign of them. Well, apart from him having looser nappies (but then…
Teach children how to use cutlery
We’re pretty big on table manners here. Well, the OH is, and I’d like to think we’ve taught N well. Although he does have a tendency to wander off from the table after eating. Thankfully only at home. He’d not…
Potty progress
There’s a distinct ‘toilet’ theme over my last few blog posts about N. We’ll go with it though. Previously N’s used the potties in the bathrooms to put his toys on or in. He’ll occasionally sit on one before having…
Party gift etiquette
Having children means parties. Their own and other people’s (although so far we’ve avoided having a party for N – I reckon in future we’ll do it in the summer so we stand a better chance of getting decent weather…
What happens at a 2 year health check
N’s 2 year check was an interesting experience. Not at all like I expected. We were sent a questionnaire to complete beforehand on development things he can or can’t yet do (wonder how many people lie or just don’t bother…
Changing rooms
Now N’s two, it’s time for him to move up a room at nursery from Ducklings to Ducks (love their terminology!). He’s been doing his settling in the last couple of days and it’s gone really well. I think he…
Birthday boy – 2 today
My little man is now 2. Just in the last couple of weeks he’s come on so much. He’s now 88cm tall, weighs 2 stone and has size 6 feet. In the last 2 weeks he’s been putting together words…
Birthday Preparations
It’s N’s birthday tomorrow, so the last couple of days I’ve been sorting bits out. With the snow, the plans to meet up with friends at soft play isn’t going to happen so we’ll be postponing that. He’ll also have…
2 Year Check Prep
It’s almost time for N’s 2 year check with the health visitor at the surgery. It does amaze me that they think it’s a normal environment to check a child’s development in, but I guess we’ll see how it goes…
Childcare changes
Obviously I need to sort out a new job first, but come August, N’s childcare will be changing as youngest nephew will be starting school so his two days a week there will stop. So decisions will need to be…
