Max and I don’t do a brilliant job of switching off from work; our weekends usually involve something, either sat at a computer in snatched moments between dancing runs or stock uploads or sorting out something or other while passing the unit. I work partly every day if I’m home in the week and even […]
Sponsored Post: A picture is worth…
In less than a month, this blog will be 10 years old. Sometimes I look back at the very first posts, though I like doing it on the wayback machine most to get the full flavour of how it used to look. Somehow, to me, those early posts are not the same surrounded by the […]
See the sun again.
April has come and gone. It was hard this year. Hard because it will always be hard. Hard because it fought against the Spring and the sympathetic balm of warmth and light that is normally so familiar, so sweet, so sad, did not come. Hard because there was no fug of new baby warmth and […]
Guest Post: Sand in Our Shoes
A rather persistent run of illness from… yawn… everyone in the entire house, has slowed up my 10 year celebrations rather. Sorry for the lack of blogging 🙁 However, here is a post close to my heart, from Suzanne at eggdipdip on leaving city life and moving back to Scotland, for a more open air […]
Having a Cleft Lip & Palate by Fran
I’m delighted to welcome Fran to the blog today, who has contributed a post on growing up with a cleft lip and palate. I’m sure it doesn’t need to be said that her attitude and outlook about her cleft make us very proud of her but it’s great to read how it feels in her […]
Sometimes… Always.
It's very hard to believe that three years ago I was watching my son struggle through his last night. Truth be told, it's very hard to believe at times that I had a first son, the Bene's Internet abbreviation is DS2 not DS1. That Freddie came first, even though now sometimes I look at his […]
Baby Bene at 15 months (almost).
I’m terribly behind with Bene updates, which is annoying because he has been changing so much. At not quite fifteen months, he’s been walking for around 1 month now. Starting walking was pretty funny; he took a few steps for a day or so, then scared himself silly and wouldn’t walk on the floor any […]
The Lullaby Trust
I've sung to Bene every day since I had him I think. I never sung to Freddie, not so far as I can remember, and it's one of my saddest thoughts. From very early on, Bene has been soothed by the sound of 'Yellow Bird', he knows its the sleepy song, he knows it means […]
Finishing up. A project, a plea and a book crush.
While I’ve been lacking in blogging, I’ve been pretty busy doing other things, alongside home educating, settling Amelie into school and bringing little boys. He’s such a big boy now, so much part of everything. Walking, contributing to life with the ever present, all useful “da!” and generally making a mess and an impression. And […]
Guest Post: Classical Music for Babies
As part of my #10wks10yrs series of guest posts for the tenth aniversary of Patch of puddles, I’m delighted to host this post on exploring music with babies and toddlers. I’m not much of a music person, it was always a chore for me to learn to play and I hated the ‘classical music face’ […]
