Potty Training Update

I don't know where the time has gone this month.

It has been mega-busy with trying to get my business back on track, following a disaster I won't go into here. That's almost recovered as far as I can make it, thank goodness, and the time has just whizzed past in a blur.

Baby A's potty training has been going well. We are good with 'wee wee's, but not so good with the other.

If I'm completely honest, I still think she's a bit young, but we've started so we've got to keep going now.

She doesn't seem to really know when she needs to go, which is difficult, but she is getting the hang of it.

I'm really very proud of what she has achieved as we only wear nappies for sleep, and she hasn't had that many accidents. I have admittedly been extremely grateful for the dry weather , to allow me to keep on top of the washing for the accidents we have had (not least as we only have 2 bed sheets so they were on quick rotation when we initially tried no nappies for day sleeps!)

We had to scrap that. Too many accidents there and I realised when I actually had to wake her for nursery that she was wetting in her sleep. So if she's doing that I don't see the point in removing the nappy for sleep just yet.

We're also on the 'big girls toilet' already as she soon sacked off the potty once she saw the big girls & boys using the toilets at nursery.

Unfortunately we are using a seat, but carrying that around is a small inconvenience in the greater scheme of things. I find it also helps as if we need to use public loos, she feels as safe as if we are at home, and I can anti-bac the seat afterwards!!

So my little girl has officially grown up. She goes to toilet on the loo, where's 'big girl pants' and likes her hair in a ponytail 'just like a princess'. Where did my baby go?!

Wondermum Makes - Tegenarium - Spider House!

My Mum isn't a lover of spiders and unfortunately she passed this fear unwittingly onto Roar when he was small. She didn't want him to stay afraid and so one Christmas, she bought him a Spider House Kit.  Between us we hoped he would learn about them and watch one and see they spend a lot of their time motionless and aren't really that scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it when a spider scuttles too close, but it's usually the shock of something scuttling into view that's more 'scary' than the spider itself.  Well, that's what I tell myself anyway!  We have no poisonous spiders to worry about so there really isn't anything to fear (although I know that isn't the same everywhere). We've had this Spider House Kit tucked away in a box for at least a couple of years as Roar was initially not keen.  However, in Lockdown all  the 'kits' are coming out and so has this one and, what's more, he's LOVED IT! He has l...

Best Lockdown Day Yet

Yesterday was a really lovely day.  I'm pretty sure that's the first time since Lockdown started that I've said that.  And it's rained all day! It's come at a really good time as we have just received a call to say Cub has been added to the UK's vulnerable list - which basically means we need to take extra measures to ensure he remains home and is 'shielded' from the virus by all of us. So to have a good day was important as we may be facing Lockdown for a lot longer than everyone else. I asked myself what it was that made it good and I realised we had no cross words, no raised voices, and we did all of the important things. Then it struck me.  We got up at the normal time and the kids actually went to bed a little later than usual (as we kept them up to Clap for Carers at 8pm) and yet we had only done the things that had real value.  Family value.  We had not pushed ourselves to complete loads of school work and I had not completed any paid work...

Wondermum Bakes, Makes & Creates! - Vegan Chocolate-coated Cookie Dough Balls

Further to my Kids Kitchen post, I thought I would share one of our latest efforts - vegan chocolate coated cookie dough balls - yum :) These are delicious and very moreish and crucially, something our littlest will eat.  Looking at him now, he appears a cheeky chubby little cherub and looks the picture of health, but what you don't see is how difficult it has been to get calories into him with his multiple food allergies and initially severe GORD (difficulties keeping food in). So having high calorie allergy safe foods he will eat is a constantly evolving part of our journey with our Cub :) We made these two ways - initially just following a fairly basic dough recipe and then adapting it to make it more vitamin enriched so see also my second post for the vitamin enriched version. Recipe The basic recipe we adapted from one of our favourite You Tuber bakers - Cupcake Gemma - so here is a link to her original (non-vegan recipe) which we then adapted  https://www.youtu...
