Bottling it.
This feeling. Full of energy, the sun shining, calm, but still raring to go. I can feel my body alive and healthy, my muscles are warmed and reacting to my needs as I’m cooling down from my run. I have tea, I have a smile on my face, the day is bright and full of…
Playskool Explore 'n Grow Activity Tower review.
And if you read to the bottom, there’s a 50% off cashback offer 😉 ) Playskool were kind enough to offer me the chance to review one of their products and I couldn’t really resist, but I tried to choose something that would be small and versatile. The Explore ‘n Grow Activity Tower doesn’t disappoint.…
Still a work in progress
Looking through very old blogposts trying to find the one about the swimming pool and the vomit (don’t ask) and came across this gem. It made me stop and think. It’s over 5 years since I wrote that. I’m still hopeless at cuddling my children. Still utterly disorganised. Possibly even more paralysed by future fear…
She's got the whole world in her hands
I don’t do those monthly letter to a baby posts that so many bloggers do. But I’ve realised that I barely mention soa except in passing, so I thought I would do a post focussing on her as she is right now, or in another month or so I’ll have forgotten. She’s 10 months old.…
I have a small problem.
This is not me. Well, obviously it is me. But it isn’t. You see, I don’t look like that. Not in my mind’s eye. I look more like this. though possibly skinnier. And less blurry. With better lighting 😉 So where has she come from, this woman in the mirror? She catches me by surprise…
AFK
Aargh, days are slipping by without blogging again! Tim was away for a couple of nights at the beginning of the week, which cut down drastically on my (evening) computing time. It also meant a convoluted set of logistics for the Monday evening activities – Big was picked up slightly late for her fun swim…
The baby book category
I never managed to keep a baby book for either of the other two. (In fact we found the blank one the other day that I had for Big I think, came out of a box in the garage. I thought it would be good to fill in for soa, so I put it down…
Back to school.
That would be the school situated in our living room, with a school day that goes nearly all round the clock 😉 Home education for us is very home centred right atm, due mainly to soa’s needs and requirements. We are going to introduce a weekly music group as of next week, which will mean…
Put the baby down and walk away.
A lot of the time if I put soa down and sit back down in my chair, she gets really unhappy. She can still see me, and smell me, and I think she can’t quite understand why she should be in the (relatively) hard, cold chair when she could be on a warm comfortable lap.…
Two hands free
and half a braincell working 😉 (so know how you feel Deb!) Soa is currently on her big sister’s knee, or trying to crawl up her shoulder. She appears to like crawling up ppl’s shoulders. She is a very strong willed baby, who likes to feed frequently, but for some reason, doesn’t open her mouth…
