We have had some pretty big milestones here in the last 24 hours. Sprogs literally growing up over night. Jack is now riding his bicycle without training wheels! We’ve been watching him (obviously) and for a while now, he has been balancing himself for the most part, and only really using his trainers to turn. [...]
After mentioning today on Twitter,that we are bus toilet-training Kyla, I was asked for some tips. So this is my post dedicated to the in and outs of what we do toilet-training wise (eloquent intro isn’t it?) We DON’T use a potty. I really don’t like them. The cleaning, the sterilizing…. I cant help but [...]
Jack seems to be our narrow escape child… Ok, that might be a tad dramatic! But he has had a few close and interesting calls. At 18 months, he fell off a jungle gym from around 1.7m high onto the back of his head. After 2 minutes of crying, he was 100% fine and was [...]
All of us parents do it, inevitably. We speak about how much/little sleep we are currently getting. I try not to dwell on it too much, otherwise I run the risk of falling into the trap of becoming obsessed with it. But we’ve hit some interesting new territory so I’m going to blog about it [...]
Boy, we were not fully prepared for the recovery from jack’s op. The ENT made it sound like a small thing… Its NOT! We had been warned, by my mom, that a temperature post-op is normal. It normally happens 2-3 days after the op. In our case, it happened that first night. Jack was spiking [...]
… So the day before the op, I get a call from the doctor’s office. They inform me that Jack will be done later as he is one of the “older kiddies”. So we can come in later. Okaaaayyy. I was a little taken aback but nothing too bad. I packed Jacks bag with toys, [...]
After 2 years and 7 months of enduring wood cutters in our bedroom every night, Jack had his tonsils and adenoid removed last Friday. (Adenoids is a common mistake, there is only one) Jack has always, always snored. When he was born, the paed said to us that he had a big adenoid but that [...]
I always thought that summer was our busy season. It turns out that we are just busy people . We just seem to be on-the-go often. Its a lot of fun but doesn’t leave me with much time to blog. I’m loving our life. Its chaotic and crazy but so rich and blessed. For the [...]
Another week down already! It seems that our school week has flown by. It was a great week! We had quite a lot of fun, with a few moments of frustration (mostly me). We learnt about Spring and we constructed our own, very make-shift kite. We learnt about “b” and Jessie kept calling it a [...]
Ever noticed how all of your kids seem to hit a milestone of sorts, all in the same week? Its almost as though they’re competing to see who can hit a milestone the fastest. We have had one of those weeks. They’re amazing weeks! The kids develop in leaps and bounds. But they also leave [...]
