Confusion
N was so cute today. He loves going to play at his youngest cousin’s on the days he goes there (not entirely sure he’s going to cope once the cousin starts school in September), and today was one of those…
Thoughtful discussion
Dandelion clocks
We generally tend to have Sunday dinner at the farm, but this week N was keen to get back home for some reason, rather than loitering and chilling out, annoying his Gramps while he’s trying to watch the news. N…
Do mums make the best drivers?
I’ve been driving a while now although not as long as I might have done, given I didn’t want to learn at 17, and only really learnt to help my job prospects on leaving university. First lesson I loved it…
Letterbox blankness
We don’t have a letterbox at our house or the farm. The postman just leaves the post with whoever’s around at the time, then it gets divvied up between the correct people when they show up or come and collect…
Childcare blocks
I find it insane the way red-tape often stops something worthwhile happening, that is something that is going to impact the community positively. And ultimately could help business and economics. Politicians have been agreeing to increase staff to child ratios…
Children disliking a shower

Toddlerisms #9: Sandwiches
N’s been learning much more about the animals on the farm recently. He loves farm books (obviously), and loves playing with his tractors inside and out. As for Tractor Ted…he knows all about pea harvesters (not going to find many…
Garden fun
For a boy, N’s never really been that into balls. He loves wheels, but balls he’s not so fussed about. (And I’m talking about the sporty version there!) Last year he did really love his ball pit, but more about…
It’s a dog eat dog world
Or in the case of this toddler, not so much dog eat dog world as rabbit eat tiger world. N is obsessed at the moment with soft toys. He has a fair collection of them – only a couple teddies,…
Toddlers and phones
I have a really chatty toddler. But then aren’t most of them?! N seems to be taking after me when it comes to the phone though. He loves ‘chatting’ on the phone or any other toy, magnet, tv remote which…
Healthcare for children and possible tongue tie
Trying to get hold of the right people in healthcare is a nightmare. I expect most people can relate to that. I always thought, if you’re trying to get appointments for children, it’d be straightforward and hopefully the lines would…
