Autumn months lead to colder winter months which usually means more time spent inside. Because it’s nice to cosy up under blankets in front of the fire, and drinking hot chooclate. Along with more reading, occasional crocheting and family board…
*Ad – collaborative post Living on a farm meant there wasn’t much chance that N wouldn’t love the outdoors. He’d play outside all day given half a chance. I on the other hand, as so many other adults do, put…
N’s just getting into proper Lego, but when we were sent some Lego to create a dream house for Ocean Finance, he was really excited. At first N wanted to know where the instructions were because he’s only ever followed…
Like most children, N loves to play with water. In the bath he doesn’t really use traditional bath toys, it’s all about transferring water from one item to the other, and using the empty shower gel or shampoo bottles for…
Since January when N’s nursery school moved location it’s been a bit of a change for N. Of course, he’s taken everything in his stride and it’s been a fairly minor change in terms of who’s been involved. The nursery…

Some of the things N does really do amuse me. This morning he had insisted he was dressed while standing in front of the mirror on his wardrobe (vain, my son!). Then while I was trying to sort his jumper…
Kids love stickers. Don’t they? I think N does but not to the extent some other children appear to. He has a few sticker books and likes occasionally spending time sticking the stickers onto blank pages. We’ve not reached the…
