Day out at Stoneleigh Country and Livestock Show with toddlers

Is there such a thing as packing lightly with kids?
We’ve got exciting plans for tomorrow. Stoneleigh Park is holding a Country and Livestock show this weekend; we used to go to the Royal Show when it existed (my mum used to take us, and then we’ve been since being…
Chain saws and scared toddlers
You’d think N would be used to noisy mechanical equipment, having been used to tractors, diggers, quad bikes etc from a young age. But we’ve discovered that chain saws are really not a happy thing for him. His day nursery…
Shower surprise
In the mornings N, if he’s awake, usually comes into the bathroom with me while I shower – mainly for me to keep an eye on him, although sometimes he’ll wander off to chill out on one of the beds,…

Tommy’s & Water Babies Splashathon
N did his second Tommy’s Splashathon at Water Babies at the weekend. As I wrote here (link), it feels a bit silly trying to get sponsorship for a toddler, but the actual activities are always fun and built in to…
Hungry Children
I came across this article today on BBC news about permanently hungry children. A tad worrying, as at the moment, N would be one of those children who doesn’t stop eating. If I let him, he would eat all morning from breakfast…
