If you follow us on social media at all you would have seen these posts from this past weekend where I shared about how my small boy was struggling with an ear infection then a perforated ear drum. It was not a fun thing to watch him in so much pain, knowing there was very […]

And so we ride the merry-go-round again…
What would my blog be without a piece on sleep, sensory issues and the things we face with my small son? He, as you know, if you follow us, has had sleep issues, ear issues, sensory processing issues to deal with in his short life. I recently noticed that he was displaying similar sleep issues […]

The grommets are still in…
And I am relieved, and realising how grateful I am for those two tiny pieces of plastic, keeping his ears healthy and comfortable.

One more time: No Regrets!

I am not very good at expressing myself verbally, so I am writing it all down, in […]

The blog post where I talk about sleep, AGAIN!
Unrelated but annoyed looking cat. Sums up how we feel about sleep… Oh look, she’s blogging about sleep, or lack of it, again, I hear you mutter. Yes, I am going to talk about sleep, and probably sound a bit whiney, but this is more of an update post, than anything else. We recently discovered that […]
READ MORESo, do we have an answer….?
Or at least we hope, we have worked out why Small Boy may not be sleeping so well. I am kicking myself, and feel very guilty, that I should have worked it out sooner, but now we know, and hopefully we can work our way to a solution. At Christmas time, Small Boy got flu, […]
