Recycling with toddlers

ByEmma May 3, 2013

An aside first of all, amusingly I was going to entitle this posts “recycling toddlers”. I’m sure quite a few parents would like to try recycling theirs and swapping those with huge tantrums, with some more obedient ones?! I now…

Snoring Beauty

ByEmma November 30, 2017

I’ve said it before and will say it again, N loves his sleep. And like most children, however hyper and lively they are in the daytime, they’re like a ‘snoring beauty’ when asleep, looking like butter wouldn’t melt. There’s a…

Baby proofing or not?

ByEmma January 12, 2015

When you’re a parent in this day and age, you often have safety information coming at you from left, right and centre, especially once your child is mobile whether that be crawling or walking. Health visitors tend to pass on…

Slow growing feet

ByEmma April 30, 2013

N’s feet have to be the slowest growing in history. I don’t think his feet have grown more than a quarter of a size (from over a 6 to just hitting a 6.5) since September. Makes for cheap shoe buying…

ByEmma December 4, 2019

Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit optimistic in thinking we might get warm enough weather for me to break out into some summery clothes, but I’m planning ahead in anticipation. It’s always hard for myself – I’ve got wonky…

ByEmma April 28, 2013

Ok so I’m a wuss. I love to dance having danced throughout childhood, ballet with a bit of modern dance, until I had to stop for 6th form as we had school on Saturdays. I then went back to dancing…

Water guzzler

ByEmma April 27, 2013

Slapped cheek?

ByEmma April 25, 2013

Rashes are strange things, especially when they appear on children. Immediate panic if you always think the worst, or if you have a child like N who tends to get a few spots frequently, and the occasional prickly heat style…

Swimming woggle success

ByEmma December 30, 2020

Whoop whoop. For the first time N swam a whole width on his own with the woggle. Usually he kicks when you’re holding on to him, but as soon as you let go, he stops kicking. But this time (and…

Running, running everywhere

ByEmma April 20, 2013

N’s turned into a little runner. Being a toddler, he runs everywhere. Whatever he’s carrying, he tries to run with it. Thumb in his mouth, and he’ll run. It does worry me sometimes, as he’s not the most careful. He’ll…

Mini Masterchef

ByEmma April 19, 2013

I think I wrote recently about N enjoying ‘helping’ me cook. Here’s the post if you missed it. He’s definitely a mini masterchef in the making. I have to be so careful as now he thinks he’s a pro at…
