Erin’s current daily vocabulary;
“Hiya” (not hello)
“Oh, dear”
“Oh, no”
“Oh, yeah”
“Pretty girl/shoes”
“Two” (never one, or three)

“Ta” (at least she has manners)
“dog, dog”
“mum”
“dad”
“dad-dad” (Grandad)
What’s more funny, than [...]

Erin had her feet measured and received her first pair of proper shoes today.

The picture shows the correct style except we chose white (am I mad?!). Clarks were really good, the fitting was professional and they even took her photo in the shoes and entered us into a contest for two years worth of [...]

As the title suggests, we have decided the time is approaching for Erin to spread her little wings one morning a week and make some buddies.
We have spent the morning enquiring at four nurseries. One was full, and two others have a minimum session requirement….a minimum session requirement?! The nurseries seem to only [...]
