A good night's sleep is just as essential for your child's development as food and drink. It's at night, when little ones are in their beds, that their brain recharges its battery and prepares for the next day. Children who had a good night's sleep will be more receptive, have a better attention span and be able to process and learn better than peers who didn't get a sufficient amount of sleep, ...

Amy’s belated birthday interview
While going through my drafted posts and planning new content for the coming weeks, I noticed that I have completely forgotten to post Amy's yearly birthday interview with you. It was her third birthday a little over a month ago, so I'm suffering from a serious case of mummy guilt right now, but I thought I'd still share this year's interview with you.

Time is running so fast and you are learning so many new things every day. You have gotten more and more mobile this month. You have learned to crawl two months ago but you just couldn't be bothered with it. Now you can crawl from one ...
OMG - this girl can throw a tantrum
Oh my God, Amy gets away with quite a lot - poo explosions, sick in the bath while I am in there with her, waking up 12 times in one night - well, you know the game. Today however, she was really testing my patience. She was throwing one temper tantrum after the other whenever I put her in her high chair or play pen and if I say temper tantrum, I really mean temper tantrum - not the usual whinging ...
