Of course it’s typical. With only 3 weeks to go before our swimming commitment is over, N has decided that swimming’s not as bad as he’s been making out since September! Yes, we’ve had a swimming breakthrough. Some people would…
Last night I went to my first swishing party – named a ‘Swap-a-rama’ which tickled my OH who liked to call it a swapping party! What is a swishing party or clothes swapping party? If you’re not familiar, a swishing…
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…

N’s now 14 1/2 months old and although he’s very chatty, we still haven’t got any specific discernable words…well, I don’t think we have! I think he’s a bit more of a physical type: he was an early sitter at…
