In my experience when any stage of life is drawing to an end, those last days of school, or university or single life for example, there is a moment when you stop and think "this is just perfect if only it could stay like this" (the Germans probably have a word for this feeling with "zeit" in it). Then you get caught up in the next exciting thing, the new job or whatever and life goes on. I feel a bit like that about those toddler days at the moment, full of looking forward to my youngest growing more into the young person she will be, but overwhelmed by feelings of nostalgia and the sure knowledge that there are bits of the person she is ...  Read the complete review

Being a dad of two children I have and am still going through the toddler stage at the moment. My little girls is now six so obviously has now grown out of the toddler stage, my little lad will be two in August so we are slap bang in the middle of the toddler stage. Although it is truly a lovely stage it can also prove to be rather taxing.

My youngest little boy will be two in July and, much as he will always be my baby, I can no longer escape from the fact that he is a fully-fledged toddler with a determined mind of his own.

Mine even has a Mr Happy top which he wears with pride pointing at 'Ha-ee' to anybody who will care to listen. *Mr Tickle* Simple games of 'Round and Round the Garden' have my little boy in ...  Read the complete review

It is my wonderful boy Harry's 3rd birthday today... Happy Birthday Harry!! I can't believe that this little whirlwind of love, life and fun has been in my life for 3 years, yet at the same time it's like he's never not been here. It's amazing how such a small person can become absolutely everything to you and invade every part of your life, and the older he gets, the more joy he brings to our lives. Harry is certainly not a baby anymore (although he'll always be my baby!) and we're well and truly into the toddler stage. It's the most fascinating, rewarding, and exhausting stage so far, and I'm loving every minute. So in honour of my son's 3rd year in this world, here's ...  Read the complete review
