The Ordinary Moments – Mummys Little Helper

My little man is a real people pleaser, and as a result he loves to help out.  At the end of our Rugbytots class he’s the one helping the coach put the balls away and won’t leave until they are all back in the bag. He’s just the same at home, he wants to help with everything.  One of his favourite things is putting things in the bin. I’ve no idea why, but he loves it. Giving him a piece of rubbish is like giving him a treat!

Either way it requires some mummy attention. One of the great things about 2 year olds is that they believe mummy kisses are magic. They have the ability to make everything better. So when my son has hurt himself he heads over “mummy kiss me” and…

Melt Your Heart Moments #2

I may have mentioned this before but my little boy loves balls! He was kicking a football before he could walk, he’d shuffle round the floor on his bum kicking a ball as he went. As soon as he turned two we signed him up for Rugbytots for the following term as we thought it would be something he would love. We were right! It’s the highlight of his week, especially as it’s his quality time with his Daddy. He had his third class last week and he’s making amazing progress (I know, I’m a bit biased but he is…
