An unplanned playground visit for Mother’s Day
We seem to be getting to know parks near us really well. N loves them, and is putting his foot down about simply going to the park rather than to somewhere with more to see and do. For Mother’s Day,…

After last week’s ‘I can’t be bothered’ with my #SchoolDays post, I’m back this week. Although following last week and having nothing to write, N is still not being very forthcoming with what he’s been up to. Instead, I’ve been…
Another week, another end of February and that meant a busy week at school with not only pancake day and World Book Day. N has mixed views on both although anything involving food is going to win with him. Onto…
Boys are a law unto themselves. N definitely knows his own mind and he’s gone through life so far, being easy going. So easy going about everything including friends. I find watching him develop and his friendships change really interesting….
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…

I always said that N was easy with clothes. He’s never wanted to choose his own clothes when we’re out shopping. Usually I just buy things I like and I think he’ll wear, and usually there’s no moaning about the…
Last year I was really impressed with N’s willingness to do one of the ‘interview with’. He even agreed to do it on camera. And for the first time I got more out of him than previously. So I had…
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…
I never thought I’d have children when I was younger. I changed my mind over wanting them but I’m still not a baby person. And to be honest, some children are cute, funny or great for conversation, but most I…
It was N’s birthday run up this week and at the end of the week he came down with the start of a cold. It didn’t seem to impact his school efforts, but he was quite tired. More so than…
