3yo cried all the way to nursery today. Why? Because his jumper was the wrong colour. He was wearing his school jumper. It has the school emblem on it. It is green. 3yo wanted a green jumper on, just not his ’school’ jumper.

This got me thinking. From 3 to 11, he will be wearing the same jumper to school. Well, not the same one, he will have to move up sizes. But it will look the same. He has no choice about this, he has to wear school uniform. I am undecided on whether this is a good idea though.

I love getting comments on my blog. When they are actually in response to the post. When they are from other Mums and Dads. When they are related to my website; be it babies,  toddlers, pregnancy, or being a mum.  If people are going to try and spam my site, I wish they would:

1. spell correctly.
2. have correct English and Grammar.
3. realise my site catches spam and just not bother.

I spend a lot of time deleting spam, however – this one caught my eye. It is so bad it is funny. It is worth publishing (without it’s links to strange and useless sites).  Read more »

I’ve posted this video for 1 reason only – it is so funny!

Every time I watch it, it makes me laugh so much. She sings about  the ‘joys’ of childbirth, in a way that is true yet is funny. You may have seen it before, but you never tire of watching a classic again!

I was 8 months pregnant with our 1st child. We bought a bottle steriliser and some powdered baby formula (along with everything else that we did and didn’t need!) It looked complicated, and we didn’t want to get it wrong when the baby came along.

We only bought the formula in the scenario that breast feeding didn’t work out. This was the case in the end, it just didn’t work out for me and the baby. So I am glad we had some formula in stock.  Read more »
