What toddlers like in a shopping centre

Baby’s first haircut experience
N was born with quite a bit of very dark hair which ended up disappearing (miraculously, where does lost baby hair actually go?! You never find it anywhere on clothes, carpet or bed. Strange), apart from his back ‘mullet’. He…
First words or just jabbering
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…

Why does a toddler…
My current questions over why toddlers are like they are. Drink while on the move? I’m trying to train N to sit still and quietly while drinking from his sippy cup, But he just always wants to be wandering about….
Nursery heat
N tends to like being warm, but his average temperature is fairly low at around 35.3ish degrees . Even during the warm summer nights (yes remember, we did get these athough they were in September/October), he’d still usually go to…
