Lilly’s best friend
Posted in 3-4 years old, tagged 3 years old, best friend, children, friendship, nursery on August 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It has been an exciting weekend for Lilly because yesterday we made arrangements to spend the afternoon with her absolute bestest friend in the whole world, Daniel. Daniel is her friend from nursery. He is a month younger than her and they first met at baby massage classes when they were a few months old. [...]
The most amazing jellybaby…

Today we set eyes on our third baby for the very first time. There he or she was, a 3cm long beginning of a person, looking like a Haribo gummibear and wriggling around with a teeny tiny heart blinking away determinedly. I had guessed we might be around 7-8 weeks but in fact the sonographer dated [...]

Yesterday we enjoyed a sunny trip to see my mum at Southport, which included a stroll up the pier and a play on the old penny arcade at the end. The arcade has lots of old ‘penny in the slot’ machines, which take old pennies, and Lilly’s absolute favourite is the Sooty and Sweep Band [...]
Are you worried about swine flu?
Posted in In the news, Uncategorized, tagged children, government, illness, jab, swine flu, vaccine on January 13, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I’m not generally a neurotic mum, but I am worried, I think. With two children in nursery I already know only too well how illnesses spread and how delicate developing immune systems are. I suppose the news about the three year old girl who died of swine flu with no underlying symptoms has scared me. [...]

Nursery rhymes – an essential part of childhood?

When Lilly was quite little I bought her a CD of nursery rhymes and would play it while we were in the house playing with toys or doing tummy time etc. When I went back to work the nursery rhymes moved into the car and we listened to the same CD on the way to [...]
Reasons to smile

We have the most amazing chats with Lilly now, she makes the funniest observations and always makes us smile – even when she’s waking us up at 3am (AGAIN)! Today has been one of those days, we’ve had some really funny conversations. Here’s some of the highlights: This morning, she was watching (yet another) episode [...]
Sleep glorious sleep…

… we’re not getting any! It’s a pretty round the clock parenting thing going on in our house at the moment. At least one of our little darlings is always keeping us busy, it seems. Our days begin bright and early with Lilly waking us up anywhere from 5.30am to 7am (only the later end [...]

Yesterday, I was officially discharged from my Oncologist! It has been five years since I had bowel cancer , aged just 25, and since then, thankfully, my health has been very good with no sign of anything nasty returning. I have been having yearly appointments with my Oncologist, the consultant who looked after me throughout [...]
