This week there’s been a new report out and lots of media discussion around children and obesity, with the report recommending children’s BMI checks annually. This all ties in with discussions on sugar tax recommendations – in particular on sugary…
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…
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…
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…
As a baby, I never really thought N got hurt very often. Even as a toddler and being at nursery, there were only a couple of times he got bangs and bruises. Until his first couple of weeks in school…
I’ve mentioned before that N is a really cuddly little boy. He loves giving hugs and kisses. Thankfully those kisses have progressed from the really soggy ones of a couple of years ago, and they’re just really sweet pecks now….
I’m not sure N quite has a grasp on places. Usually I’m amazed by some of the places he comes out with, and I wonder where he’s heard about them. I keep trying to remind him of where we live…
I expected the party invitations to start when N started school, but it wasn’t an invite from a reception child that turned up for N. In fact, if we’d had it just appear and not be handed over in person,…
I was never a demonstrative child. As far back as I can remember I hated when people came to visit and said ‘Give xyz a kiss’. As I got older I wasn’t even keen on giving my mum a hug…
It’s been my mission this year to really improve my photography. I bought myself a compact system camera (*affiliate link) last year, did a couple of courses to learn how to use manual, and also the theory behind photography with composition, colour,…
Anyone with a 4 year old knows that this is the age that questions are coming thick and fast. It’s never ending, I have no idea what prompts some of them. I’d love to know how their minds actually work….
