Although January’s been manic with work and homelife, lots of parties, as well as getting back into things post Christmas, on the firsts front it’s been pretty quiet. I’ve been scanning my brain trying to remember, because I’ve forgotten to…
I started doing this interview with N when he turned (almost) 2 ½ years old. He wasn’t very vocal either then or when he hit 3 years old, but this year we’ve had a lovely chat about what he likes. …
I had December’s post for Month of Firsts all planned out, and then when it got to yesterday published something else instead. Oops. So a day late. I was a bit worried that after November, we wouldn’t have many firsts,…
I can’t believe it’s December already. Everything’s whizzed by the last couple of months, and it’s time to do my third Month of Firsts round up for last month. I thought I would be struggling this month compared to the big…
N wasn’t in a nativity play last year because he wasn’t in the pre-school room at nursery. But this year he’s one of the eldest and they’re (presumably) preparing for their play which is in a couple of weeks. I…

N’s not really one for drawing. He’ll have a go at painting, and loves cutting with scissors (usually his drawers at nursery are full of cut up bits of paper), but he’s never really been that fussed about drawing or…
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’m big on saving. I think it stems from my childhood, when my mum brought us up on her own after my dad died. She was always careful with money, and ensured we had savings accounts that were used specifically…
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…
