It’s a dog eat dog world
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,…

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…
Toddler role play – happy birthday
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…
Review: Kiddies food kutter
N’s been proficient in using a fork since around 13 months old, but it’s hard to know when’s the right time to introduce a knife at meal times. A couple of times I’ve tried as he’ll often use a spoon…
Healthcare for children and possible tongue tie

Review: Playfoam – sensory play fun
When he was younger, N was never really that keen on getting mucky during play. I tried gloop, paint and the other usual messy play ideas, but he only really wanted to use utensils to play with rather than his…
Radio rocker
Today is/was Radio 2’s Today programme – all day they’re celebrating the orchestra, and on each show they’ve got different orchestral sections playing pop music and the like. Having played clarinet and saxophone (with a smattering of piano chucked in)…
Biting toddlers
Does your toddler have bad habits like biting? N doesn’t bite. On occasions when he’s playing he might go to hit me, but so far I’ve been able to just tell him that ‘hitting’ not nice, it hurts people, and…
