As Athena is three on Monday I asked her some questions last night, and every year just before her birthday I’ll do the same, to see how much she changes over the years! So here are her answers, word for word!
It seems like only a few months ago I was worried Athena wasn’t saying many words. Now I have a chatterbox on my hands and she talks incessantly. I have been keeping a little list of things she says incorrectly or funny things she comes out with at 2 and three quarters…
As you can imagine it was pretty nippy in the Alps last week! I was worried that we’d all be too cold to enjoy ourselves out and about but actually we had a lot of fun and nobody lost a finger to frost bite! Athena wore her Kozi Kidz Alaska Winter Parka every day and there… Read More
My once chubby toddler is now a seemingly gigantic tall girl! It happened all of a sudden, she shot up and starting talking in sentences. She’s even more sure of what she likes and doesn’t like and has us both wrapped around her little finger. She is her brothers favourite person in the world. I’m… Read More
A list of things my toddler has kissed recently… Her brother, lots. This I am fine with. Her ‘baby’, her lola doll, her stuffed dinosaur, her owl hand puppet, her pink bunny… again I’m fine with all of these. My welly boots that were sat outside our flat door in the hallway.

Doesn’t like vegetables (surprise surprise)… Read More
A couple of weeks ago I headed to the Library with Athena for toddler rhyme time. Obviously Arlo was with us but was happily snoozing in the sling. For the uninitiated Rhyme Time is a few nursery rhymes with actions and a story, led by an overly enthusiastic library worker (well, four at our local… Read More
A couple of weeks after Arlo arrived I got a bit gushy on Instagram about how proud I was of Athena and how well she’d taken to her new role of ‘Big Sister’. A few weeks down the line that still stands. So far there has been no hint of jealousy, even when I am… Read More
If you’ve read my blog over the last month or so you’ll know that Sam my husband took up a new hobby at the same time as Arlo arrived. I think he thought two weeks off work for paternity leave gave him ample free time to get used to his new hobby! He is now… Read More
Last weekend we bathed the babies together for the first time. Arlo was three weeks old and hadn’t had a ‘proper’ bath in the tub and seeing as Athena was about to have a bath and he was happy and full of milk we decided to give it a go! So perhaps this was more… Read More
