Despite having access to all sorts of toys, cuddly ones, dolls, stacking things, Duplo, Little People imagination toys and loads more Arlo is always drawn to anything with wheels. I know people say cars are not just for boys (and I agree, obviously) but there really does seem to be some inherent draw to toy… Read More
Athena thinks that Daddy is magic. Daddy actually isn’t magic at all, but he has been using his phone to turn on and off the light bulbs in our house (we have ‘hive’ running our lights and heating) without Athena knowing. She thinks it is the best thing ever that he can point at the… Read More
Athena hasn’t been at nursery since the end of May, she’s been going since she was 12 months old and absolutely loved it all; the messy play, the friends, the garden and the staff. We took the decision to take her out just after she turned three because although she loved it there and it… Read More
Athenas best friend is the daughter of one of my best friends and they were born exactly a year apart, Athena is the younger of the two but they are about the same height. When I think back to when she was about three days old and her parents came over to visit this… Read More
Phone calls are something that both my kids love to emulate. Whenever Arlo has the chance to grab my phone he will do, smacking it against the side of his head (often the wrong way round) and shout ‘ellooooo’. It is really cute!
Who doesn’t like bubble wrap? It’s one of the little things that gives me pleasure whenever I come across some! A couple of weeks back during the chicken pox quarantine we got a parcel with some of the larger bubbles in helping to protect everything and Athena yanked it out of the box straight away… Read More
I love ice cream, and it looks like my two have taken after me! Athena has always been a fan of the lovely stuff as a pudding (pizza Hut ice cream machines are her fave!) But we rarely get to enjoy a proper ice lolly, mainly because they’re so messy to eat at home!
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
