The understatement that is…turning six
A child’s birthday should be a big thing for them. But I think this year, N turning six was more exciting for me than it was for him. Unless he’s just very good at hiding his excitement (unlikely, although he…

N doesn’t really do birthday parties. I love children’s parties because at the moment, most parents stay which gives me a great opportunity to catch up with mums I don’t get to see at school. But N isn’t usually a…
Unlike many children, N’s not really big on birthday party themes. But even he requested a pirate party theme when we were in the early planning stages of his last party. He didn’t get one because he won’t do dressing…
Are people really that rude that they think it’s fine to not reply to children’s birthday party invitations? Or that they don’t respond but then turn up anyway….possibly with extra siblings in tow who weren’t invited? We’re in the planning…

The round of 3 year birthday parties has started. As it’s hard to get a date for N with him likely to have the same weekend chosen as one of his NCT friends, I think we’re just going to have…
So far, given he’s only 2, we’ve not got into the perpetual cycle of birthday party after birthday party. Apart from informal ones which are just piling into soft play or general play sessions, he’s been to his 4 year…
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…
