Yes, we had another hot night down south – over 20 degrees. MyItchyBoy was already suffering an eczema flare-up from Friday so the heat was not at all welcome. We had all the windows open throughout the house as well as the loft hatch, to let the heat up and out. However, sleep was still […]
How do you explain the Olympics to a 3yr old?
The Olympics are everywhere. Even on the stamps I bought today. MIB is bringing home stuff from nursery to do with the games, he made a torch at playgroup today, but still has no clue what it is all about. And me? Well I just don’t know how to explain it to him. I have […]
Sunscreen vs. Eczema
Have sent MIB off to nursery today with a hat but no sunscreen. Am I a bad mother? Nope, just an indecisive one. Too early in the morning to decide whether or not he’ll definitely need it or not and too little time for the Epaderm Cream to soak in before slapping on sunscreen, to […]
My cake compartment is empty
At dinner last night, MIB announced that he was “stuffed!”. He’d eaten a lot, so that was fair enough. He then asked for one of the fairy cakes we’d made earlier. I pointed out that he was apparently ‘stuffed’. “Oh no, only my dinner compartment is full” he announced, patting one side of his stomach, […]
Careful Mum, the ink’s still wet…
Found MIB laundering money yesterday… I knew it was a mistake to let him get the toy washing machine down from the loft at the weekend. Even more of a mistake to let him have new batteries in it. Since Sunday many items have been crammed into the whizzing drum, with mixed results. The favourite […]
Every cloud has a silver lining
MIB’s skin has been looking so good lately – almost like a ‘real’ boy. This is all great news, although I do find myself holding my breath a lot of late. One thing I have noticed though is that the lack of eczema does rather reveal the scrapes and bruises on his knees that a […]
Travelling on the Tubilee line
This week has been a bit of a tough one. Dealing with an eczema flare up is never fun. Having to look at a spotty boy, temper the number of ‘please don’t scratch’ in an hour and applying endless layers of cream take it out on all of us. My chuckle this week came from […]
Why why why why why?
Why, Mummy? But, why? Mummy, why does it? Why? Why though? But, why? Why, Mummy, why? Why, Mummy? But, why? Mummy, why does it? Why? Why though? But, why? Why, Mummy, why? Why, Mummy? But, why? Mummy, why does it? Why? Why though? But, why? Why, Mummy, why? *Mummy eats chocolate* Why, Mummy? But, why? […]
Thanks darling!
MIB had just finished having a pee before his bath tonight when I told him I needed to go too. So he put down the seat and announced: “There you go Mummy, you can sit on the big hole seat, because you’ve got a big bottom”. Now, I know that this is just toddler speak […]
MIB’s packing list
We’re away this weekend, so I am busy making piles of stuff we’re going to need on any available flat surfaces around the house. These piles will hopefully start grouping themselves together Thursday night while I’m asleep so I will be able to find everything quickly come Friday morning. MIB’s packing List for weekend away: […]
