I recently blogged about how J was getting on with being a big brother and how he had ‘improved’ since N was born. Every day he is just becoming more & more loving towards him, and it really makes my heart melt and brings a tear to my eye. He still helps me with N – with nappy changes and getting him dressed etc. – but he is becoming so much more affectionate and sympathetic towards him too. He has recently started giving him proper cuddles, arms round him and everything – he has never done this before. He doesn’t realise …

Being a big brother
I recently wrote about little man J at 2 years old, and briefly mentioned how he is coping with being a big brother. Since then he has come on a bit more too and is really getting used to it and helping more now. He does still get jealous sometimes and I have to make sure that I don’t leave him alone as we have near on had a couple of ‘incidents’ with him! Instead I take the brunt of it, as any Mummy would.

Little man's first day at nursery
As little man is not yet even 2, he won’t get his free nursery funding until next year – despite this, hubby & I have recently been debating whether to place him anyway and obviously pay for it.

I’ve been waiting a whole year for this moment! *Insert laugh here* After his party on Sunday, we had a quite a chilled family day yesterday, on his actual birthday. We co-slept the night before, so we would be waking up with him on his birthday. As it happened, I woke up around 3.15am in one of those “wake up to check he’s OK” moments, and my heart melted and I shed a little tear, as I woke up to him half sat up, with his head …
Party time!
As I blogged about a couple of months ago, I had started to plan little man’s 1st birthday party. Well, yesterday was the day, and after all of the planning, I think it went very well! The theme was In The Night Garden. I had decided to get crafty and made a few bits: Invitations A name banner The stickers for the party bags Some colour in sheets for the party bags A sign to go on the door I also went a bit mad with banners and balloons! Though I had to …
