New tooth
At exactly nine months old baby Mia has cut her first tooth. A fine looking tooth it is too! At first when Amy told me I couldn’t see it but after careful inspection I saw an almost transparent line almost at gum level. This explains her watery, acid smelling, toxic poos that she has been …
Reception Parents Evening
I knocked off early to be able to make the 4.30pm slot at the school. Amy had been to meet Sheena in sunny West Hampstead so that they could have a chat and baby M could get a chance to play with Xanthe. When I arrived at Catford, Amy was to be found in Little …
Harvest Festival
Last week was the Harvest Festival performance. It was in the great hall at the back. The chairs were laid out in a large circle with nursery, reception and Year 1 and 2 children performing in the middle. It kicked off with the children coming in with their gifts which they placed in wicker baskets …
New sounds
Mia has started to say different sounds. She now says ‘ba’ and ‘ga’. Also she looks at Amy and says ‘mama’ and looks at me and says ‘dada’! This is VERY cute. Her purposeful crawling is still in development. Now she can traverse, albeit slowly, the length of the lounge. She has spotted the router …
Bad night
Mia was awake several times last night. Her head cold has moved to her chest so now she has a nasty cough. One to match Jake’s! Last night she kept waking every hour-ish. I gave her the rest of her milk, she slept. She woke, I gave her some calpol, she slept. She woke, I …

Jake and Mia
Jake has started to learn words! For the last couple of weeks he has come home from school with letters to learn. So far he has learnt i,t,a and s. His homework has been to practice writing the letters, which he has done very well! Last week he came home with a book to read. …
Feverish Mia
We had a terrible night last night. Mia woke at 1am. When I went in she was burning up and not a happy bunny. After a feed she went back to sleep, but only for an hour! This time she did not go back to sleep. After trying unsuccessfully to put her down, I took …
Boo boo
Oh dear. I made a boo boo today. I was feeling very pleased with myself. Single-handledly(well almost) I had fed and clothed Jake and got all his school things together, ready to leave the house at 8am on the dot. Amy came too because we were to have a nice coffee at Luke’s mums Brazilian …
