The Wiggles
The Wiggles are on constant rotation in our house – whether we are watching them on TV, playing their game on the iPad or listening to their albums in the car. Unfortunately my husband and I now know the words to all of their songs and sometimes I find myself still listening to them even when Lucy is not in the car.
Dolly
Lucy has a favourite dolly that she cuddles for every nap and night time sleep. She was looking a bit worse for wear but she is now feeling refreshed after going through the washing machine after an unfortunate vomiting incident.
Play Kitchen
Lucy plays with her wooden kitchen every day. All visitors to our house have to sit at her table and chairs and enjoy her hospitality, which usually involves cups of tea, buttered toast and fried plastic fruit.
Teletubbies
I really dislike the Teletubbies but Lucy loves them, especially La-La. They are the most irritating of all children’s shows, but they obviously have some kind of magical allure for toddlers.
Annabel Karmel Toddler Meals
I love these frozen ready meals for those nights when we get home too late to cook anything remotely nutritious, or if we feel like getting take-away.
Where’s Spot books
Lucy loves Where’s Spot and there was a stage where I was reading this book about five times a day. Spoiler alert: he’s in the basket.
Babycino
I know lots of people roll their eyes about parents ordering babycinos but they are a godsend. They keep Lucy occupied for five minutes while I can enjoy a coffee of my own.
Gumboots
We go a bit stir-crazy if stuck inside all day so it’s important to have clothes and shoes ready for some outdoor play, no matter what the weather.
Pram
I love my pram, the Baby Jogger City Elite. It hasn’t got as much of a workout lately but I used it every day in spring and summer. It is suitable for all terrains and easy to fold, and great for naps.
Piggy
Lucy’s first pet is Piggy the Guinea Pig. She is learning to be gentle with animals and is learning to feed her and clean out her enclosure.
