Spinning around
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…

Toddlerisms 4: Rock child
I can’t remember whether I’ve previously mentioned that N is keen on rocking. Obviously the influence of his dad’s music taste is stronger than mine, given I like music that I can either sing along to or dance to. Although…
Chatty toddler
N’s never really been quiet ever since he’s started making noises. Thankfully we didn’t have much public shrieking, and in public he does tend to be a bit quieter, letting others do the talking. He’s picking up new words left,…
Building Dens for toddlers
I think I need a bit of practice at making dens. I remember going to family friends and building great dens, but N’s not seemed fussed about them so far. He has started wanting to sit on the sofa and…
Television fan
Since being ill, N’s started to take more notice of tv. My fault entirely as I’ve had to work from home to look after him, and he’s not been ill enough to sleep all day and wants my attention, so…
Bathroom copycat and toilet follower
Ok so two lavatories posts on the trot but couldn’t not write about this. My little bathroom copycat. Because of course being a mum means you rarely get to visit the toilet alone. I always make a point of telling…
Noisy sleeper
Good god, N’s a noisy sleeper. On our recent road trip he was in a different room for the first two nights, but on the last two he was in a big family room with me. We stayed at my…
When’s a baby not a baby?
When they’re a toddler, of course. It’s a hard one to know when they transition from baby to toddler. My view is as soon as they’re up and walking on their own, then it should be fairly obvious they’ve made…
Why does a toddler…
My current questions over why toddlers are like they are. Drink while on the move? I’m trying to train N to sit still and quietly while drinking from his sippy cup, But he just always wants to be wandering about….
Nursery heat
N tends to like being warm, but his average temperature is fairly low at around 35.3ish degrees . Even during the warm summer nights (yes remember, we did get these athough they were in September/October), he’d still usually go to…
Nappy change wriggler
Arrrgghhh! My guess is that there’s lots of mums (and dads, grans etc) struggling with their wriggling babies during nappy change times. Ours has started to get ridiculous over the last couple of days with N flipping straight onto his…
