Birds and the Bees...

After the very public questioning from Nathan on the bus the other day about the meaning of ‘semen’ following his lesson on reproduction at school, today he announces ‘Mummy, did you know sometimes girls kiss boy’s willies, why would they do that?’ Followed by ‘Is it true men stick willies up peoples’ bums?’, I began to think it was time for the talk. For those of you who have not read my previous posts, Nathan is 10 years old… almost 11 so I feel I’ve done well so far to avoid these types of questions. He has still never questioned me on the existence of Father Christmas which in the order of child development, I’m sure would have come first. I was slightly wary of this talk, I was given the job of telling my little brother about the birds and the bees when he was in year 6. He wound up being gay, I’m sure I told him right. In fact, I’m positive I told him what went in what hole. I even drew him diagrams to show him what went where as he was in shock. He is not so ...

Show #Jack Love... We Need Your Help!!

As I am sure many of you know, it’s been a tough time for England over the last couple of months. We as a country have seen things we never wanted too. Our children of the UK were targeted at Ariana Grande's 'Dangerous Woman' concert at Manchester Arena. Sadly, we lost 22 lives, one little 8-year-old child from our town. Then again in London, we faced further terrorist attacks on London Bridge and Borough Market. This attack did not just affect the United Kingdom, but citizens from all over the world lost their lives. After all, we are a multi-cultural country where everyone is an individual. Where we welcome all to live peacefully amongst us. Thank fully the majority are just that, peaceful and kind. The nature of our country shone through when we were stuck with further disaster, L ondon faced the towering inferno of Grenfell Tower which was truly heart-breaking and the death toll is still rising. The country is pulling together on...

The Poop Factor!

Once you have experienced the joy of child birth, you will become so familiar with the sight of poop in the most random of circumstances. It starts pretty much immediately. When Jack was born, being my second born, I was aware what would come out of him at first, just maybe not so soon! The midwife put him onto my chest for skin to skin contact and straight away, the first thing he did was poop all over me. That lovely icky black tar poo that just seems to smear more and more when you try and wipe it off, it was such a lovely first experience. I would not recommend it as a moisturiser either, it leaves a sticky residue that just makes you want to repeatedly shower! The midwives hadn't even had chance to weigh Jack before he delighted me with such a gift, I'm sure he would have hit 8lbs if it wasn't for his excrement. He weighed in at 7lb 13.5ounzes. I had a very similar tar poop experience with Nathan. Nathan was the first baby I had ever handled. I r...
