N’s role play is really coming alive now. He’s been a bit limited before and it’s mostly been involving driving vehicles. But now it’s much more make believe, and making up stories using items that maybe aren’t relevent. It’s definitely…
Personally I’m not a fan of fancy dress, but it’s great for children to be able to dress up, role play and get involved whenever there’s a dressing up day at nursery or school. N has a couple of fancy…
N doesn’t really have much idea about jobs and what they are. Apart from farming obviously. And vets and tree surgeons as that’s what our lodgers do. I’m not sure he realises that the staff at nursery have a job…
What is it with children and keys? When they’re babies, keys are shiny, mirrors, and noisy. A distraction from teething, crying, chewing. Something to hold and tug on instead of jewellery. N wasn’t really given keys to play with at…
I think I’d mentioned a while back how I’d suffered a DVT. It seems to be resolved, but as I’d had one years ago (with neither having been brought on by anything in particular), I’m now having to take warfarin,…
N’s getting very adventurous with his toddler role play now. Sometimes it is a bit of a mystery as to what he’s enacting (maybe the drama side of things needs some work!?). The other day he’d dragged out my carpet…
Until recently, N’s not really done anything other than drive his tractors round, or baking and cooking with his toy food and microwave (or my oven). But in the last week, I’ve really seen his play become more creative. He’s…
Hmm, well not the actual toddler cooking, but the toddler’s ‘food’. We have an Aga. It’s great, not only for food but also for drying clothes, warming yourself etc. There’s no way N would be able to open the doors…
N’s always been a bit of a fidgetter (aren’t all toddlers?), but he’s started playing with his (my old) wooden chair. He tips it over, then stands in it, then tries to sit on the floor in it, on the…
Or in the case of this toddler, not so much dog eat dog world as rabbit eat tiger world. N is obsessed at the moment with soft toys. He has a fair collection of them – only a couple teddies,…
No idea where N’s got it from but since the weekend, he’s been talking and singing about happy birthdays all the time. We’ve had no birthdays recently in the family or with friends, and I’m sure nursery would have mentioned…
