Would you give your children second-hand gifts for Christmas?
Regular readers will know I love a charity shop bargain. This Christmas I’ve upped my game, I’ve bought loads of gifts for the boys from charity shops, local Facebook selling groups, and eBay.

Christmas gift idea for men: socks! Not just any socks….
Getting socks for men for Christmas is pretty standard. It’s the default gift when you have no idea what else to buy… the perfect stocking filler.
But socks have also been a pretty boring gift. Until now.

S’s 2 and a quarter health visitor check: what to expect
S recently had his 2-2.5 year old check from the health visitor.
She was due at 2pm which is usually his nap time, so I put him down for an earlier nap and woke him just as she was parking up. Unfortunately having to wake him meant he was a bit grouchy and not really on form…
The first words he muttered were ‘tv on’… great, thanks S, now she thinks I just plonk you in front of the TV all the time!
What she checked for:

S is 2!
Over a month ago (bad mummy blogger alert!) our beautiful blue-eyed baby boy turned 2!
I still can’t believe it, I know everyone says this but seriously, S still looks and is the same size as a baby!
He can still fit in a lot of 12-18 month clothes!
Personality
Anyway what’s our little 2 year old like?!
Wild!! Is this second-child syndrome or just a difference to his bigger brother W I don’t know but S is more fearless and headstrong than W… quite often the ringleader leading older children astray! Loves being the centre of attention! His self-confidence is great…. apart from when you need him to listen to you to stop throwing his food etc!
A lovely week with the boys in Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca
We went to Spain for a week in January. It was a bit of a disaster. We needed to balance it out!
We decided to try Majorca in May… just a 2/2.5 hour flight to contend with, and nice sunny weather without being too hot for our boys. We looked into lots of different hotels but in the end booked the Playa Mar in Puerto Pollensa based on a friend’s recommendation. It looked lovely and it had really good reviews online.

W turns 4!
Nearly a month ago now, our beautiful first-born turned 4… where does the time go?!
His 4th birthday
Poor W didn’t have the best of birthdays, he’d been fighting a virus on and off all week, he went to school as usual in the morning but just had a lazy afternoon at home with his dad and little brother, and opened his presents when I got home from work…. he was very pleased with his Paw Patroller that he’d been hinting heavily at for weeks! Brother S bought him a couple of dinosaur-related toys that cheered him up to!
