We made a snowman family (or ‘NoMan’ as you refer to it as in your toddler vocabulary) two days ago.
Little Poogie with Snowman Poogie and Snowman Daddy
So, it’s Christmas eve, it stopped snowing yesterday and the temperature has climbed to a balmy 5 degrees celcius.
Our poor little snowman family is looking a little worse for wear… (more…)

Rushed in, ripped open your clothes and had a look at you in the light and you were most definitely very upset and struggling to get breath in. Getting some in, but labouring and not happy.
So, we made sure you were breathing enough, then tried to calm you down as we threw some clothes on and jumped in the car. By this stage your coughing/difficulty breathing fit was over, so we drove the 4 minutes to the emergency department at the hospital and (more…)
