Freddie Freddie at 4 Years 1 Month Posted on March 22, 2015May 21, 2025 By Becky Our fabulous little chap turned 4 at the beginning of February, and, as usual, time seems to fly since the last time I did a ‘Freddie at X’ post! What I love about these posts is the noticable changes in my children since the last one- it really is a… Read more
Parenting Sibling Separation Anxiety Posted on March 1, 2015May 21, 2025 By Becky These pictures might seem fairly innocuous to the casual observer, siblings playing a simple game together on a Sunday afternoon. But what the body language says to me is different, and signifies a shift this last month or so in their relationship. S has always been considered the slightly more… Read more
Freddie The First Day (Take Two!) Posted on January 18, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky On Monday we chartered familiar, yet also unfamiliar territory, for it was Sasha’s first day at preschool, joining her elder brother. When it was Freddie’s first day 15 months ago, I felt a bundle of nerves (although trying not to show these!) and it was a BIG DEAL him going-… Read more
Freddie Sasha at 2 years 8 months Posted on January 11, 2015August 13, 2021 By Becky Blimey, has it really been 4 months since I did one of these? I love that I’ve started these little records of both Freddie and Sasha- I hope they will be lovely to look back on when they are old enough to read. I have (probably crazy) visions of still… Read more

Parenting This moment, this time Posted on November 2, 2014May 2, 2025 By Becky The other day, whilst on holiday, I was standing watching Freddie and Sasha tear around the soft play area in Butlins. What struck me most (besides the ear-piercing screaming) was suddenly how sweet our little one’s relationship had become. Freddie would wait for Sasha to climb up through the holes… Read more
Freddie Trainspotting Posted on October 26, 2014May 21, 2025 By Becky Prior to having children, I never gave trains, or public transport for that matter, a moment’s thought. Except perhaps for the irritatingly regular grumble that my commute was delayed by a late-running service, or that we were all crammed in like cattle. Fast forward nearly 4 years, and I… Read more
Freddie So the cot has gone… Posted on August 31, 2014May 21, 2025 By Becky 2 weeks ago we moved S into her first proper ‘big girl’ bed, and said ‘so’long’ to the cot, the cot which we’d had for 3 1/2 years and that had housed F too. Once the new bed had been ordered, and even when it arrived, I didn’t really feel… Read more
