The carpet on MIB’s bedroom floor is not in a great state. Ideally, I’d like a solid floor covering, but it is not our house, so we don’t get the choice. The carpet where we put his cream on twice a day has a sort of sheen to it these days. There are also a […]
Swimming II
Our second swimming attempt was a bit different as we were on holiday in Tenerife. The pool had a gradual slope so he could get his toes in without too much commitment. After about three days he was happy going up to his shoulders and there were no skin flare ups as a result. The […]
Swimming
MIB has only been near a swimming pool on two occasions. The first was in May last year when he was two. I was excited by the picture of the kid’s splash pool in the brochure and eagerly prepped him by talking about it. I managed to navigate the complication of young boys’ swimwear and […]

Piriton is a wonderful thing and is, thankfully, fast working. However, I sometimes wish it did actually make MIB drowsy, as the pharmacists warn you! We carry a small supply in MIB’s YellowCross pouch. We’ve also supplied grandparents with a bottle, just in case. We got this organised after I spent hours driving around in […]
