Yesterday Felix and I went for an afternoon in Cambridge. I had considered getting him a build a bear seen as it would only be £1 due to his age. This did not happen. The queues were at least 4 hours long and snaked around the shopping centre. So many people all desperate to get their hands on a bear (the deal happens the month of the child’s birthday too just in case you were wondering). Parents had taken their children out of school, they were taking it in turns to queue and a majority of the children had no idea where they were and would have been just has happy with a bear from a charity shop. One woman in the lift actually commented on how good she thought the queue was as it was only 4 hours from start to finish for her and her toddler. The toddler said to me ‘I’ve spent my day waiting for my bear’. Said bear was strapped to her back and she was more intrigued by playing with the clips on her buggy than the bargain bear they had queued a lifetime for. Felix did not get a bea...

Advice No matter what happens in life people always have advice for you and they always know better than you do. This couldn’t be truer when it comes to having a baby. Before said sproglet arrives everyone tells you how much your life will change and ‘oh you wont be able to do that soon.’ My first question is why cant I do it? Having Felix hasn’t actually stopped me doing anything, don’t get me wrong there have been things I now don’t want to do but it hasn’t stopped me doing what I want. Felix doesn’t actually care where he is or what he is doing as long as he has food and cuddles.

I try my hardest to ensure he gets to experience new things all the time. This is something ...

On Monday I decided I was going to visit Lincoln for lunch, to see my uni friends and their babies. I was very excited, 2 new babies to meet and to see my favourite toddler who provides great entertainment and just wants to help with Felix all the time. She is adorable. Obviously I was looking forward to seeing their mums too but in all fairness they are nowhere near as cute and smiley as their children. Felix is the only boy in the group, I have explained to him that these will be his ‘forced friends’. These are the friends that your parents insist you are friends with because they are friends with their parents. We all have these friends but they are also the friends that will probably get into the most mischief with you or even the friends that you find yourself stuck on a train with where the next stop is York (trust me there were not any doors!). Felix and I set off in the morning, we were running a little late as one of us decided we wanted some milk before the car journ...
