I was thinking about the things I’ve been really proud of N of. Obviously there’s all the obvious baby milestones (which I’ve mostly forgotten about – thank god for Timehop, facebook photos, and blogging to look back on these). Add…
Someone in our house has been Mr Independent since turning 3. This means: toilet training (‘no mummy, get out, stand outside the door, I don’t need help’); getting dressed (debatable as sometimes he’ll do it, other times he’s thinking about…
I’ve seen lots about the Reading Eggs programme over the last few months, but not done anything about subscribing. When we were offered the chance to try it, I jumped at the chance. I’m really trying to encourage an interest in letters…
After yesterday’s toilet training post about how we N did it, I wanted to share my top tips on toilet training boys. Ok, so really toilet training any toddler, but slightly more relevance to boys given that’s what I’ve got…
f you’ve not already experienced it, toilet training a boy is hard work. Toilet training (as we can’t really call it potty training) any child is hard work, although some do find it easier than others as with everything about…

It seems three year olds love being like their parents. N is definitely one of this group, as he loves to be like Daddy, doing ‘jobs’ on the farm (on Sunday, he spent almost 3 hours on the farm with…
I’m really competitive when it comes to games. I always was, and with a younger brother who was just the same, playing games was interesting in our childhood house. I don’t really remember our mum playing with us, apart from…
For N’s last birthday, one of the smaller presents I got him was a Hape Geomix puzzle set. He quite enjoys doing puzzles, and as he’s learning shapes I thought it would be a great puzzle as he can build patterns freestyle or according to…
Children are noisy. I know that, you know that. It’s something you expect. Thankfully N isn’t one of those children who talks AT TOP VOLUME ALL THE TIME. I think that would drive me mad. How teachers cope, I have…
