The toddler, he says ‘no’
It seems N’s favourite word is still ‘no’. Wonder if he takes after me, as I do seem to have to warn him off things fairly frequently now he’s trying to turn on dangerous things, like the oven, or running…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Big kids soft play
Today we joined one of N’s friends at a soft play place in town for her 2nd birthday. N’s never really that fussed about soft play. He tends to head straight for the things he has at home or are…
Favourite children’s books
N obviously takes after me in his love of books (plus of course being a typical toddler who’s sucking up all the information in them!). We tend to have to read quite a few before bedtime, although sometimes he’s quite…
Review of 2012 and forward to 2013
Ok, so I got a bit waylaid yesterday in doing my 2012 review as we had a longer than planned car shopping/research session (boy, are some car salesman totally missing working out what a customer is actually asking!), a cheesecake…
Chatty toddler
N’s never really been quiet ever since he’s started making noises. Thankfully we didn’t have much public shrieking, and in public he does tend to be a bit quieter, letting others do the talking. He’s picking up new words left,…
Laid back mums
There’s been a lot of talk recently about different types of mums and their impact on their children as they grow up. I’d read an article in the latest Mother & Baby magazine about laid back mums having more independent…
Christmas came, it saw, it went
The run up seems so long for Christmas (then of course it gets closed and seems to then rush by), and then it’s over in a day. If you’re lucky, you manage to drag it out a bit further. The…
Christingle traditions
Today we went to one of the local Christingle services. I was a little worried as I wasn’t sure how N would behave in the church having not been in one since he was christened. I was hoping he’d enjoy…
The Christmas tree is finally up
Whoop. Very exciting. Finally our Christmas tree has been brought down from the roof; I spend yesterday evening putting it up and decorating it. I have a purple and silver theme and have bought new items over the years. I…
Washing baby
I’ve blogged before about how N loves the bath, he’s not even that worried about shampoo and having his hair washed. He’s started asking for ‘moo’ (shampoo), and thanks to swimming, although he doesn’t shut his eyes, he is learning…
Christmas day at home
So with only a week to go, I finally managed to find out that we are having Christmas at home. Now, we are always at the farm or around just because the men need to do the feeding in the…
