Singalong car journey
I think I’ve mentioned before how much N enjoys music. I’m pleased because I’ve got pretty eclectic tastes so it’s going to be great if he ends up really into music too (rather than the OH who’s tastes are pretty…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Building Christmas spirit
I’m trying to get N excited by Christmas. Obviously he has no idea what it is, what it’s about, but it’ll be good to have someone else in the house who likes Christmas and gets excited by it, in contrast…
Television fan
Since being ill, N’s started to take more notice of tv. My fault entirely as I’ve had to work from home to look after him, and he’s not been ill enough to sleep all day and wants my attention, so…
Blooming temperature again!
And yet again, N has a temperature. He was fine this morning, ate breakfast, went to my sister-in-law’s as usual with no problems, then on the way home from work (on the journey from hell as there were problems on…
Hot and cold
N’s got really good at recognising which things round the house are going to be hot and therefore what he shouldn’t touch. It’s brilliant that it’s just come from saying hot when he’s been around items that could be hot,…
Soft toys and role play
N’s always had a few soft toys at the head of his cot. He mostly uses them as a pillow (despite the fact he now has a proper one), apart from his taggy blanket and Peter Rabbit he was given…
Toddler tantrum number 1
Well, we’ve had our first tantrum (although I have to say it was muted compared with some other children I’ve seen in the past…maybe I’ve become immune to crying now I’ve got a child of my own). Admittedly, N had…
Thought for the day: Loos
Ok so it’s to do with parenting in a very round about way, but what is it with loos (or toilets, whichever you prefer)? Is it only me that dreads going into a public toilet cubicle where the lids down…
New shoes
I always think that N’s shoes last ages and his feet grow really slowly compared to the speed of other children’s. But his last pair of shoes were getting a bit loose and misshapen, and didn’t really have the structure…
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…
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…
