A few weeks ago we got the call that we had been dreading. Erin’s school phoned to say that her cough wasn’t going away so based on Government guidance, Erin was no longer able to stay at school and we had to go and pick her up as soon as possible. I’ll be completely honest, at this point I had a bit of a breakdown. It wasn’t that I was worried that Erin had COVID 19 because I wasn’t. Erin gets coughs quite often and they sometimes last quite a while so I knew what
I think we got Erin her first bike when she was around the age of two. It was a red toddlebike and she was so exited when she saw it. I remember her spending hours playing on it in the garden but before long she was starting to outgrow it. So, we upgraded her to a balance bike from Kiddimoto. This one was a bit trickier and Erin struggled to get the hang of it for a little while. However, now aged 4 the bike is too small for her although she still loves it
Something I really regret is not looking after my teeth better. I spent months and months in and out of dentists having braces as a teenager and after that, I just didn’t keep up the care. I had really lovely, straight teeth that I ruined over the years by smoking, drinking way too much coke and not going to the dentist often enough.

I left it a little while as sometimes Erin can overreact but when she didn’t stop, I had to go up to see what was wrong. Erin was very quick to come to me but wouldn’t let me anywhere near
From the day she was born Erin has always been a great sleeper. Back when we used to go to baby classes, such as Baby Sensory and Baby Yoga, it became a joke that Erin wouldn’t last through a whole class. It took right until Erin was 1, and in one of her last classes, to get to the end of Baby Sensory. I remember the whole class clapping because it had never happened before. I think we’ve been really lucky when it came to Erin and napping. Up until the age of 2 she
AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) Erin’s birthday being on New Year’s Day means that this time of year is a bit strange for us. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day mean completely different things to us compared to most people. We don’t do anything special the night before as we’re usually getting Erin ready for her birthday. This year, Erin had a late night, going to bed at gone 10pm but she did manage to see a few fireworks first which was really special for her. Thanks to
