Mother’s Day and the Many Many Questions of My Child!
In the UK it has been Mothers Day last weekend. On Sunday. I’m not really fussed on the day.

And so I am Continue reading

Our household is a blended family and my son goes between my house and his dad’s house. We have a very good routine. It took us 3 tries to find a routine that fit but we have it and it works extremely well. This is a routine we have come up with ourselves – it Continue reading

Have I got a hole in my bum?
If you read last week’s post you will know that my son resurrected an old question about his eyes. The eye question used to be asked frequently when he was around 3 years old.

Have I got one eye or two eyes?
