177/365 Little Chef

177/365 Little Chef

Look out Masterchef. There’s a little chef on the loose. Actually in this scenario the little chef is a little baker and she’s enthusiastically eating raw scone mix. She followed that by eating flour. This, from the toddler who turned her nose up at my pasta and creamy sauce for dinner because the pasta was [...]

176/365 Even Her Eyes Are Smiling

My baby is getting big. Or to be accurate, she’s not growing up so much as she is growing out and I do love a chubby baby. But despite colic which is relentless and hard and wears you down until you you feel like the most incompetent person on the planet, it’s not all the [...]

175/365 Still Sleeping

175/365 Still Sleeping

Upon returning from her PR debut (more on that later), the Squishy was somewhat surprised to find that her sister was very uncharacteristically napping during the middle of the day. Pretty typical that Riley has a nap when I’m out of the house and cannot take advantage of such a rarity. Think of all that [...]

174/365 Preschool

174/365 Preschool

I’m beginning to have the rather unsettling thought that Riley is ready for preschool on her own and after this term of preschool prep class it might be a good idea to do just that. It seems to me as though she’s at an age of craving more interaction with other kids and she certainly [...]

173/365 Sisters

173/365 Sisters

Thanks to more awake time the squishy is enjoying an increased level of attention from her sister. She’s started insisting that they have breakfast together and if Piper even stirs slightly she makes helpful suggestions ‘maybe I just go get her’. Yesterday she decorated her with butterfly stickers. And she’s been trying to ascertain how [...]

172/365 Breakfast Companions

172/365 Breakfast Companions

To share this photo of my two girls at breakfast time, a couple of things become immediately obvious. The toddler watching TV while she eats breakfast. I’m not keen. But there it is, sometimes it happens. Secondly, you’ll note that she is wearing Dora pyjamas. Which she loves, but I hate the idea of branding [...]

171/365 Under a Rock

Blogs are self-indulgent creatures at the best of times. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know for myself I embrace the self-indulgent nature of my blog. A whole lot of my days are spent not being self-indulgent and putting little people’s needs first. Which is as it should be. But it’s nice to [...]

170/365 The Fourth Trimester

170/365 The Fourth Trimester

Photo opportunities are all to rare at the moment thanks to Piper being keen on being in the sling 24/7. The fourth trimester, I think it’s called. The husband keeps forgetting I’m not actually pregnant anymore. Very occasionally the squishy agrees to get out of the sling. Which is nice, because I can actually get [...]

169/365 Xbox Professional

169/365 Xbox Professional

I secretly suspect that the only reason why the husband wanted children was so that he could create little people to play xbox games with and/or a variety of professional golfers or tennis players to support him in a style which he’s yet to become accustomed to. You’ll note there is a reason behind his [...]

167/365 More Bubbles

167/365 More Bubbles

No such thing as too many bubbles. Obviously. Particularly when I’ve got a velcro baby and it would seem that the husband has been dealing with the velcro toddler and finding out that being the favourite parent isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be. But despite velcro tendencies my toddler-shaped baby is back to [...]
