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...

Wondermum Makes - No-Spider Tegenarium / Spiderless Spider House!

Further to my recent post, I realise not everyone loves spiders and not everyone knows where to find them or is sure if their spiders are safe.  And, as we also have a toddler in our house, we needed a 'Cub Safe' version to ensure no real spiders are harmed by an excited toddler shaking their spider-house! So we decided to make a pretend spider so Cub could also be included :) To make the actual spider house, see my other post - this is just to make the fake spiders! Things You Will Need Our list included single and double-sided tape, curling ribbon, scissors, paper, black pen and optional googly-eyes :) But if you don't have all of the above, you could use glue instead of tape or double-back on itself some single sided tape to make it double-side.  Curling ribbon could be string/cotton/wool etc. Your spider can be any colour so any colour paper will do or colour some in.  You could even use newspaper!  And if you don't have googly-eyes, you can m...

Wondermum Makes - NHS Superhero Angels

Thursday night we 'clapped for carers' and made as much noise as possible in the Thursday night tradition (the UK's way of saying thanks to all the care workers for all they are doing to keep everyone safe throughout this Corona-virus). This inspired our craft idea for today and we made some NHS Superheroes but instead of the traditional hero capes, we decided they were also Angels and so their capes are Angel inspired 'wing-capes' instead :) Things You Will Need We had: various coloured paper, stapler (with staples loaded), cardboard tube, single and double-sided tape, scissors, crayons (for faces), felt tips (for eye colours), black pencil (for mouth), sandwich bag (for mask).  We also show pegs and Gorilla glue (super glue) but these are an alternative option as we only needed to use the stapler and tape.  If you do use glue, the pegs are to hold it together while drying as we have used this method previously. The other items we didn...
