Our final DryNites ConfidentNites update! #ad

by StaceyUpdated on August 13, 2017October 31, 2016

You may be aware that over the last few months I have been sharing our bedwetting journey with you. Bedwetting affects 1 in 4 of four year olds and it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. DryNites have produced the ConfidentNites Guide to help you along in your journey. In the middle of our journey, along with some of the other ambassadors, I went on a sleep retreat and gained some valuable advice from the three experts we met; Yvonne Wake (nutritionist), Selina Sasse (mindfulness expert), and Helen Packham (sleep expert). The advice, tips and knowledge I gained from the sleep …

Wow. I thought I had better write an update on Jacob as I have been (kind of) keeping up with then for Noah, and I knew it was a while since I last wrote one, but, I didn’t think it was this long! Six whole months ago! Even the photo from then, he has changed so much. I always mention Jacob’s behaviour in his updates as we have had many troubles and you may remember we went on a course to try and help deal with it. We have been so consistent with lots we learned since then – well, I have anyway …

Time for a toilet regression?

by StaceyUpdated on January 26, 2016January 23, 2016

Is there such a thing as a toilet regression? Why do I ask? Because, well, we seem to be having one with Jacob right now. It’s been 4 months now since we moved and his Grandad passed away, but we have had no other big changes since then so I am trying to figure out the reason, or if it is actually just a phase – in which case I shall just repeat the mantra “This too shall pass. This too shall pass.” It wasn’t actually long after we moved that he started to do all of his business on …

Potty training and growing up with Thomas | Giveaway (CLOSED)

by StaceyUpdated on July 3, 2017October 24, 2015

Regular readers of the blog will know that J started potty training early last year and since then we have been up & down like a yo-yo, going totally off track at points too and right back to the beginning with him wearing nappies full time. Though deep down it was frustrating for me, I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t force it as he obviously wasn’t ready and I know from other people that it could have set him back even more rather than encourage it. Still, it’s taken a long time and we have introduced Thomas & Friends …

Blog Jacob Toddler

Jacob at 3 years 5 months old

So I seem to be on time with this update – though I did miss his last one due to my blogging break but I thought I’d just skip straight to this one! His behaviour has improved so much in the last couple of months. We do still have our moments but nothing like it was before. I no longer go to collect him from nursery dreading what they are going to feed back to me that he has done this time. It feels a bit strange saying it as I obviously didn’t condone it before, but I’m glad he …
