Toddlers and phones
I have a really chatty toddler. But then aren’t most of them?! N seems to be taking after me when it comes to the phone though. He loves ‘chatting’ on the phone or any other toy, magnet, tv remote which…

High maintenance children
It’s always a bit hit and miss as to what type of child you end up with. Obviously you’d expect them to have some personality traits similar to the parents, but they could end up being totally different. After seeing…
Sticker Fun
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…
Poo and working from home with toddlers
Apologies now for the tmi…we’ve had an awful lot of poo the week from N. As it’s predominantly the stink and colour that’s so vile I’m now tending towards the ‘teething’ poo theory rather than him actually being ill. He’s…
Nappy changing games
I have just seen the funniest thing…not really good when you’re trying to have quiet downtime before bed. N’s now at the ‘do what you get told to do’ stage in terms of putting things away and trying to do…
Toddler Ministry of Funny Walks
Now N’s been walking for some months, he’s getting more adventurous and confident about his movement. Sometimes it’s all a bit amusing as he decides to try different actions. We’ve had the ‘soldier/can-can type, kicking up the legs in front…
What toddlers like in a shopping centre
Toddlers and a shopping centre. You’d think they’d not mix, and it could be a boring trip. But it doesn’t need to be for a toddler. When N was younger, I was hoping that we’d have taken a trip to…
Summer nightwear for toddlers
The warmer weather has again brought to the fore the wonder (or panic) of bedtime and what toddlers should be wearing in bed. Nightwear for toddlers. There’s never much information and it’s a case of working it out for yourself….
Little feet and Skeanie shoes
*Ad-gifted So N’s now been walking for almost 3 months and he loves it. Crawling now only happens if he’s going through his play tunnel, and he’s even moved on to ‘dancing’ (little stomps left & right, occasional twirling, and…
Caught in the act – food thief
When all goes quiet and N disappears off, you can bet he’ll be somewhere he shouldn’t (obviously, because he’s a toddler). From the living room he’ll wander past the other toys in the back room (dining room minus chairs/table so…
Teddy bear love
Although he’s always had some teddies (well, elephant, cow, polar bear, dog and teddy) at the head of his cot that occasionally he chucks out, Nathaniel’s never really been that fussed about cuddly toys. He has a small Peter Rabbit…
