Giveaway: Dribble bibs
I couldn’t (and still can’t) believe how much N dribbled from the age of about 3 months. He’s now got all 20 teeth but is still dribbling – I reckon he’ll be at school before he stops, although the amount…

Music for children
We’ve never really played nursery rhymes to N. I do have a cd of them which I played once in the car, but I wasn’t keen on the grating versions and N didn’t seem that thrilled with it so we…
Cheap ride
Before I had a child, I always pitied the parents in shopping centres having to drag their screaming kids away from the pay character rides they have wherever you turn. The children wanting to have another go, the parent needing…
Cheeky behaviour
I thought N was getting grown up as he’s no longer been taking his taggy blanket or Peter Rabbit toy to nursery. Just before he was due to start nursery, I thought it might help to have something to help…
Meal Planning Monday: 15th April 2013

Swimming backstroke
“On our back we lie nice and flat” so goes the song at Waterbabies to prepare them for swimming backstroke. But until now (and we’ve been swimming since 4 months old, he’s now 27 months), N’s flat out refused to…
Play tunnel fun
As I’ve mentioned before I love NCT nearly new sales for cheap bargains, whether they be toys, books, baby equipment or clothes. One of my bargains some time last year was a play tunnel. Of course the weather last year…
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…
Baby hints and tips no.5: Washing and changing
Number five in my baby hints and tips series today, and this one’s on washing, changing and the whole hygiene caboodle. Like some other new mums, I’d never really been around babies before having N, so had no idea about…
