Daisie's starting nursery

Today my teeny 6lbs 4.O5oz baby had her stay and play at nursery where she got the chance to meet her teachers and some other little ones that will be starting at the same time as her in September.

While there we filled out her about me form ready for her little marvelous me book and she had her photo taken for it too, They got a lovely big smile from her I'm so excited to see the picture.

 But no trip out to the dentist (she begged me for weeks to go to the dentist and today was her appointment) is complete without a little hand bag full of cat teddies and a miniature dog teddy, 

Daisie absolutely loved having lots of friends to play with and lots of toys to share with them :)

She loved joining in sitting in a circle with the others singing along to a few songs before it was home time and sitting down with a carton of milk and a biscuit.

 Heart strings getting tugged all over the place lately, Even tho she was very happily playing she still nipped over to see me to make sure I was still there and that I was okay!
We will be receiving her start date within the next few weeks, excited just doesn't cover it :)
No doubt I'll be in tears on her first day but I'm so excited for her, she's ended up in tears almost everyday when I have to say no to her going to nursery because it isn't time yet.
With September nearing not only is my tiniest baby starting nursery my biggest one is going into year two!!!

Do you have a little one starting nursery/school this September?

Make shopping fun

Daisie hasn't stopped begging to go to nursery this morning (she doesn't start until september)

So Andy decided he'd take her to the shops instead so she's still out and not so restless.

Then it hit me why not make her up a fun little shopping list with pictures?

(I did grab a quick picture but the quality is awful and you can barely see as we done it all colourful in pencils which haven't been picked up to well)

So I  grabbed the best example I could find on google.

She loved the idea of having her own little list to tick off as they go round picking up items on the list :)

I was chuffed that she could recognize my attempt of a potato.

So off they went with her little shopping list and crayon in hand full of excitement!

We all know how stressful shopping with a bored and restless toddler/little one can be

This is something I plan to do every time the girls have to come shopping with me.

I'll update this post with pictures of Daisie with her shopping list in hand and our next trip out with her list.

Where did my babies go?

Today my youngest little lady used her potty all day all of her own accord in the morning she decided today would be a potty day and she stuck with it all day. With hair now down her back that falls in lovely curls she finally allows me to brush it and make it look pretty for her, She'll be turning 3 and starting nursery next year :'( 

My eldest little lady turns 6 in around just 3 weeks!

She got a little make-up set at our early christmas at my partners mums 

she hasn't left it alone since she got it, reapplying her lip balm and nail varnish once she's finished dinner or done something that's chipped it.

Dry like me potty training pads

I saw these on offer in asda so grabbed them to give them a go now that Daisie is preferring to wear pants/pull ups instead of nappies now, She's still terrified of the potty and toilet but seems to be okay on the one we have in our living room, she'll sit and do all the noises but so far no actual toilets on it. These cost around £2.5O I think it was, I'm yet to give them a try but I think Daisie will like the fact she will have big girls knickers on just like her sister :)

Each pack is unisex and contains 18 pads and a FREE pad pouch for changes while you are out. 

I think it's a great idea that you can turn all pants into training pants just like the box says.

I will do another post on how we get on with them soon

My potty training tips!

So i'm slowly starting potty training with Daisie now she prefers her pull ups to nappies now :) I know not everyone agrees with them but it works for me and Daisie, she loves the pretty minnie mouse design and she loves being able to check the wetness indicator. 

First off ALL children learn these sort of things at their own time and when they are ready, you will come across other little ones that are trained way before your little one, ones that are trained ages after yours, some trained around the same age as yours etc.. Neither child has a bad parent they each have an awesome parent that waited for them to let them know they were ready rather than pushing it on their little one because someone else's little one is trained.

Right for my actual tips

1- Make it F.U.N
2 - Don't get stressed over accidents even if it's on your fave rug, these things will happen
3 - Praise as much as you can even if it's just your little one sat on the potty
4 - Make a HUGE fuss 
5 - Let your little one let their teddy/dolly have a go too
6 - Have the potty/toilet seat in the same place so your little one knows where it is
7 - Have a potty in every room your little one tends to be in for a lengthy amount of time



These are my tips so not everyone will agree with them but they are what I've found worked for me and my girls! I will be adding more to the list when I think of some more

They sell potty training books that encourage little ones to have a go on their potty just like the little ones in their book, some make sounds and some also come with stickers
