My T (10 year old son) is obsessed by statistics, we call him "our little stat man". He loves reading match reports for football, finding out who scored and when, who's been red/yellow carded and the league tables. He puts this same enthusiasm and thirst... Read more

We were very happy (nay, overjoyed) to be chosen to be part of Team Skylanders by tots100.co.uk and here was our original review post - click here to read. I've found previously with toys/games that T and D very quickly lose interest and barely-used games... Read more

Four days to go, that was our mantra this morning. T and D have both worked hard this half term, both need the break from school but not a break from routine. That and the fact that we're going to Legoland on Saturday - woohoo! They run an "exit pass"... Read more

It's been a much better day today, all about this little chappie: "The Duck Song" - you can watch the YouTube link here - it's been played over and over today, we are word-perfect in it and D has the accents down to a tee. I was a bit concerned when she... Read more

D is meant to be going to a birthday party tomorrow at TVAP or Taplow tomorrow. It's for a child who had his party there same weekend last year, I was only thinking today how nice the weather had been then, they'd all had their birthday tea outside in... Read more

I was really pleased to be asked, as a special needs parent, to write an article for an online toy trade publication. As with anything I write, I think about my approach and I started by looking up the definition of toys, this is what good old Wikipedia... Read more

It's Wednesday, the weekend is in sight...hooray! T was very cuddly again this morning, I'm not sure if he's getting anxious about the paint-balling day on Saturday, it will be a totally new experience for him. He's used to working in a team with football... Read more

Thankfully, thank you, thanking everything (!) D slept better last night, which meant we all did! Usually I will lie awake, waiting for her to wake up, no chance of that last night....zzzzz. As a result, much calmer children this morning and we were back... Read more

Last night was either one long evening or one very early morning, it all seemed to merge. No sooner had D settled than she was back, upset. It didn't seem to make a difference which room she was in, the anxieties were there. She wasn't able to say what... Read more

It's been another (mostly) good day, albeit with another early start. It is the law-of-sod that, during the week D has to be persuaded awake, the weekend arrives and she'll rush in, squeaking and squealing with happiness before it's light outside. Anyway,... Read more
Good morning, injection day for D, didn't go brilliantly but it's done. Poor thing. Hope everyone's day goes well #autismparent

Someone is eating a bacon roll on the train. Smells wonderful. Resisting the urge to leap up werewolf-style and scoff it. 🐷
