This weekend we had our little crocodile christened at our local church during family service. To start with, you should know, I’m not religious. I’m agnostic at best. I like the idea of there being a higher power even if I don’t necessarily believe in one. I believe in fate, …
My son got stuck in a frying pan today. Twice. The the first time he got it out and managed to step into it. Then he got stuck and couldn’t get out of the pan. So I lifted him up the entire inch needed and back onto the floor. When …
Snappy has weaned himself off breast milk. We helped, but to be honest he did most of the work himself. He’s been eating pretty well since we started him on mush just before he hit six months. He went from one meal to two meals a day pretty quickly. My …
As you may recall, I had some problems with having too many cats when Snappy came along. I still have too many cats and the similarities between babies and cats continue – I have discovered recently that both babies and cats will eat anything off the floor. Crumbs, cat biscuits, …

We’ve finally moved Snappy into his own room. It’s been a bit of a struggle but then I doubt there are very many parents who find it easy to move their kids out of the basket and into the cot. He’s literally on the other side of the wall and …
Snappy has gone from only being interested in walking to crawling around the house and garden at a disturbing speed. I was pretty sure he was just going to skip the entire crawling bit and go straight into walking; I bought him a walker and everything, but he’s figured out …
On Saturday The Met Opera Live in HD was broadcasting a new production of Ruslka which was being broadcast at the local Arts Centre. We love Ruslka, it’s a great opera and we really enjoyed the last production with Renee Flemming. So we really wanted to go again and it’s …
Since we started weaning Snappy we’ve been letting him try…well…everything. Cheese, yogurt, tea, every fruit and vegetable in the house. Crackers. Rusks. He will eat pretty much anything we give him. He will pretty much eat anything he can get his hands on. Which is fine, but he doesn’t want …
