Edward was invited to the Rainforest Cafe to help celebrate the launch of a new toy range which includes Good Night Friend Upsy Daisy. He’s a huge In The Night Garden fan so I knew this was one event we couldn’t miss. When we arrived at the venue we found a lovely area filled with…

When Edward saw a large cardboard box in the living room one morning he clearly thought it was Christmas. He was very excited and tried to rip the box open and was a bit put out when I said we had to wait for daddy to come downstairs. (Note to self – make sure any…

Toys for a 10 month old
Edward is growing up so fast! When he was about 5 months old I started looking for toys he could smart play with and VTech was recommended to us. A friend used the First Steps Baby Walker with her children and they loved it so I bought one. From the moment it came out of…
