It’s the first of October and its roasting hot! Is has been 26 degrees C. We spent the day at Wakehurst with Ben, Adam and Jo. Mia has been saying more words. Glasses, tissue, please and conker. A new one is shoulder while pointing at my head. Talking of conkers, Jake has been sorting his …

All change
It’s windy. It’s rainy. It’s all change. Amy officially has started her Social Workers masters degree. Well I say officially started, she has gone off for the introductory day before the course starts proper. I was tasked with taking Jake to school. Of course little Mia came along too for the ride which she loves …
Mad few weeks
The Wollny household has been in turmoil. First of all I came down with a mystery(to this day) illness which caused intense abdominal pain. Thiswent on for a couple of days and horrible sleepless nights until I took myself off to A&E to be checked out. They did lots of tests, namely urine, blood and …
Mia Development
Various observations of toddler Mia. Mia said “Goodbye Daddy” for the first time today! Other words include “cheers” or “chz”, “upsy daisy”, “dooown” when she wants to get down. She was been doing her signing for “more” which can mean more or that she generally wants something. She has been getting very frustrated because she …

She takes her milk and bib, walks into the lounge. She then settles herself onto the sofa with her fluffly pillow and drinks her milk. Lo …
Riots
I don’t know what’s going on. In London in particular and elsewhere in the UK there have been on-going riots. These were sparked by the death of a young man in Tottenham. It is evident though that the looting seen yesterday is simply opportunistic and copycat. Last night some shops were looted and cars set …
Jake in hospital
Last Friday, the 9th July to be precise Jake went to Lewisham hospital to have his grommets and adenoids taken out. We arrived at 7.30am. There were already some other parents there with their little ones. It soon became obvious that Jake was the eldest one there. There other children ranged from two to three …
She Walks!
Mia walks just four days shy of her 18 month landmark age and Mia has decided to walk. Amy tells me that this morning she was pointing to her shoes and wanted to put them on. Amy duly obliged and helped her into her new white cruising shoes. She then pulled herself up and hey …
9th Tooth
I notice another peg today in her lower right hand jaw near the back. You kept that quiet Mia. This new tooth hasn’t really bothered her too much. There have been some truly awful smelly pooey nappies but not the short temper to go with it! Lately she has been saying ‘hello’, and ‘down’ and …
