Today, we got N’s graduation letter and certificate from Water Babies. Sad occasion, but also a sign of how far he’s come. We don’t actually finish with Water Babies until he turns 4, so we’ll swim with them until the…
Note to self, in future always arrive at school events 10 minutes beforehand rather than 2 minutes before. For N’s first nativity play at day nursery, I arrived to find I was the last parent by miles to arrive, and…
I can’t believe it’s December already. Everything’s whizzed by the last couple of months, and it’s time to do my third Month of Firsts round up for last month. I thought I would be struggling this month compared to the big…

Holiday talk in the eyes of a preschooler
N’s not really one for drawing. He’ll have a go at painting, and loves cutting with scissors (usually his drawers at nursery are full of cut up bits of paper), but he’s never really been that fussed about drawing or…
