Note to self: must do better at parenting. In one week, I have missed parents evening, reversed into a nursery workers car and been told by the big rotter’s teacher that I should really try and remember the twice weekly gym kit, as they have been regularly having to lend her sports clothes from the [...]

The Postie will be delighted to read the news that the Government plans to provide break-dancing lessons for children as young as four in a drive against obesity. He has already taught the big rotter some basic breaking and popping moves, which she plans to show-off at the forthcoming school disco. He is also working [...]

I re-discovered sleep during the half term holidays, as the rotters were handed over to their grandparents during a hostage transfer at a Little Chef service station. They got to enjoy a week in the country with their much-loved grandparents and we got a week off from being parents; free to go out and sleep [...]

The rotters are full of Christmas spirit. Letters to Father Christmas have been sent and the postie’s (dad’s) best Arsenal socks set aside for their stockings. Their much loved dwarf fibre optic Christmas tree has been resurrected from the depths of the garden shed and drowned in lights and decorations. Today was the big rotters [...]

The summer holidays are officially over. Mums and dads made a collective sigh of relief yesterday morning as their little darlings were ushered towards the school gates for the first day of the autumn term.

It’s nearly the end of the first week of the summer school holidays and I’m already exhausted after three days with the rotters. With another six long weeks to go, I was pleased to hear that children who run around all day fall asleep faster and have a better night’s rest. A study of more [...]

28 April 2009
The Easter school holiday was celebrated with an end of term concert. The theme was the four seasons and I took the morning off work to watch the big rotter dance around the stage as a giant leaf. She was a brilliant leaf and her best friend was a tree. All the parents [...]
