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…

Cradle cap returns
Cradle cap’s a strange thing. Either your baby has it or doesn’t, there’s seemingly no reason why. If they get it badly, it’s obvious you need to try and help solve it whether that be massaging in oil or using…
Blooming temperature again!
And yet again, N has a temperature. He was fine this morning, ate breakfast, went to my sister-in-law’s as usual with no problems, then on the way home from work (on the journey from hell as there were problems on…
Hot and cold
N’s got really good at recognising which things round the house are going to be hot and therefore what he shouldn’t touch. It’s brilliant that it’s just come from saying hot when he’s been around items that could be hot,…

Clocks back, full moon
It’s been a bit of a spooky time over the last week what with the clocks going back, new moons and today Halloween. We haven’t celebrated Halloween this year (living in the middle of nowhere means you can get away…
Trendy toddler Tuesday: stripy
I’ve been sorting out N’s wardrobe recently and locating all the previously ‘too big’ trousers that had been bought and were languishing in drawers. I’ve also been trying to track down the various jumpers as it’s got colder and I…
New shoes
I always think that N’s shoes last ages and his feet grow really slowly compared to the speed of other children’s. But his last pair of shoes were getting a bit loose and misshapen, and didn’t really have the structure…
