Say bye bye to the noo noo

Say bye bye to the noo noo

The writing is on the wall for my daughter and her dummy. I’ve been making a few gentle suggestions that now she’s a big three-year-old, she doesn’t need a dummy. Her look of displeasure is much like that of Marlon the monster up there on the cover of Jill Murphy’s The Last Noo-Noo.

Try Potti-Dots to help sway the ‘no toilet’ vote!

Update – new designs from Early Rider and Nutcase

Peek-A-Boo, I see fun! Hide and seek in a bag

Peek-A-Boo, I see fun! Hide and seek in a bag

Toys that fit nicely into your handbag are complete sanity savers. The only problem I’ve found is that as your children get older, your bag gets smaller. Too often before heading out I’m fumbling about looking for something (anything) that will fit in my bag without the need for toting a trolley.

It’s winter and here’s the scenario. Little ones are happy when they get tucked in at bedtime but fast forward three hours and the crying starts.

Solve the dribble drama with the ultimate drool bib

Solve the dribble drama with the ultimate drool bib

My son hated bibs. As soon as I put one on him, he deftly loosened any fasteners or pulled so hard that he proceeded to choke himself if he couldn’t get it undone. The result? An aggravated Mum and soggy, dribbly clothes.

Dot Pot – the stylish way to toilet train

Dot Pot – the stylish way to toilet train

We’ve hit the terrible Ts in our house. In case you’re wondering, that’s short for terribly stubborn two-year-old who refuses to be toilet-trained. Yes, I know she’ll go when she’s ready. It’s just that when you add a nappy-wearing baby and our non-self-cleaning dog to the mix, I’m ready for her to be ready right … [Read more.]
