My Puppy & Me

Bob has always loved our dogs. She talks about them often and she loves having cuddles with them. Occasionally she would get fed up with our miniature dachshunds. Bob was desperate to play with them but Lucy & Poppy would rather sit on the settee. Now we have Sally, Bob finally has someone who wants to play with her! Where Bob goes Sally follows and I know they are going to grow up to be best friends! We have to [click here to read on]

Bye Bye Dim Dim

As you all probably know our potty training has been failing miserable. At the beginning of December Bob also took a step back in the dummy department too. For a long time she has only needed her dummy when she has been sleeping and, as you also probably know, this isn’t very often. She started wanted it more often and would cry and ask for her ‘Dim dim’ throughout the day. (Don’t ask where the name dim dim came from, [click here to read on]

All Bob Wants For Christmas Is . . .

There’s is a doll called Baby Chou Chou who Bob fell in love with. Every time the advert came on she would say, ‘I ask Farmer Christmas to bring Baby Chou Chou!’ She even walks around singing the jingle, ‘Chou Chou, mummy make me better.’ She wrote a letter to ‘Farmer Christmas’ and a Baby Chou Chou doll was at the top of her list. We knew we had to get her one for Christmas. We bought it a few [click here to read on]

Is There Too Much Pressure On Mums To Have It All?

I am very lucky that I did not need to return to work after having Bob. My husband has a good job and I make enough money from blogging to make up the shortfall. Before I had Bob I worked as a teaching assistant. It would never have been feasible for me to return to this role as the cost of childcare and petrol cancelled out my wage. I was also part way through my PGCE when I fell pregnant [click here to read on]

Fun Photo Fun is going to take a break for a while. Life has been getting in the way and I have been struggling to visit and comment on all of the blogs that link up. I don’t want to run a Linky and not visit and comment on every blog that links up. I love seeing your posts and feel bad that I can’t read all of them at the moment. Hopefully it will be back in the new [click here to read on]

The Potty Diaries - The All Singing, All Dancing Potty

October A few weeks later I decided to try and potty train Bob again. I hoped it would be quite easy, seeing as she was almost potty trained before we went on holiday. We went and bought some new big girls pants and we went to buy a new potty. Bob fell in love with a Minnie Mouse potty that cheered when you pretend flushed it. I was a bit unsure of buying it as it seemed a lot to [click here to read on]

The Potty Diaries - Lost The Potty Training Plot

September Bob was doing quite well with her potty training. She was still unsure about going when out and about and liked to hold herself for as long as possible but she was getting there. That was until we went on holiday. I thought that this may make or break her as we were away from home for nearly 2 weeks and there was no way she could hold herself until we returned. We took her own potty with us [click here to read on]
