I love having a chatty son. N loves to talk (I wonder where he gets that from), although he does pick his moments. Sometimes he’ll be quiet and focused, other times he’ll whitter on about nothing. Sometimes I tune it…
N is a really talkative child. I wonder where he gets that from? Clue…it’s not the OH. But to find out information or to have a decent chat he’s got to be in the mood or in the right situation,…
It’s another big first moment. Yes, N has his first wobbly tooth. It crept up on me. I know several other 5 year olds who’ve recently lost their first, but thought we’d be waiting a bit longer. But no, he…
Now I’m back dancing again, I’m trying to get there 2 nights a week. That helps on the fitness side, but also gives me a bit of a social life outside of work – although I don’t see many of…

Bizarrely, as a girl going into 6th form, I did exactly that and went to a boys school. Well, at the time it was a boys school but took girls in the 6th form. After I left, they then started…
N’s now turned 5 – yes, that final week of him being 4 rushed past like anything. So I remembered to sit down and do my birthday interview with him…now he’s a year older. We’ve been doing these since he…
I do have some interesting conversations with N. Many of them seem to be about human bodies so I do sometimes wonder how his questions come about. A favourite recently has been about blood, and why we have it in…
I didn’t think I’d be explaining different relationships and how 2 adults of the same sex can have babies when N was only 4 years old. Given at that age a lot of children don’t know exactly how babies are…
