The Terrible Twos Strike
Nobody tells you that ‘The Terrible Twos’ don’t actually start at 2, they start months before that. The extra tantrums, the defiance, the clinginess but mostly the frustration. We’re all exhausted.
Toddler Tantrums and The Difficulty of Understanding
It's been a little while since I last shared anything on here, so here comes a bit of a ramble...grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy!
Walking and Talking about Overwhelming Emotions
So it’s official, Freddie is up and moving about. A month ago, he was still cruising, now he’s almost running. This past week has been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions. My mood has been all over the place, it’s all been a bit much.
One Small Step, One Giant Leap and a Few Falls
It’s crazy how quickly toddlers develop and learn new things. One minute they’re doing one thing, the next they’re practically running a marathon.
Feeling the Overwhelm with High Emotions
We had a week where both of us were off at the same time so needless to say it’s been a very full on 7 days. We have enjoyed some days out here and there, but mostly just been spending a lot of time as the three of us.
Taking Life With Some Ups and Downs
1 year has flown by, it's so strange to imagine life any differently now though. So much has changed for us all and honestly, I don't know where time has gone, but I know I wouldn't change anything.
Starting Baby Led Weaning and a Merry First Christmas
All I have always been told is "you can't start weaning before 6 months" with a mix of "he'll let you know when he's ready". It's confusing, like everything else baby related!
Mental Health and Being a Mum:Postnatal Depression
Anyone who tells you that parenthood is easy, is lying to you. It's been a long, exhausting slog since my last post. My mental health isn't great, but getting better. Fighting through postnatal depression and social anxiety at the same time isn't fun.
Reaching the 4th development Wonder Week and survival on minimal sleep
It's been a strange week with many ups and downs. Fatigue and stress go hand in hand which equals complete mental exhaustion. Right now I feel like I could probably sleep for years. Whereas it would seem Freddie is the complete opposite.
