New post! Having a toddler is like having a mini wrecking ball. They're loud, naughty and utterly adorable. As a first-time mum at 40, I'm not sure if the newborn days or the toddler days are the most difficult - I guess they're difficult in equal measure but different ways. Here's 10 things to know if your adorable baby is transforming into a tiny tearaway. Toddlers are demanding, and quite frankly, pretty unreasonable. Their mood shifts from ecstatic to incredible hulk rage in a nanosecond - for no reason. Sonny flings his soother across the room and then wails because it's no longer in his mouth. He flings his half full yoghurt pot across the kitchen, splattering the cupboards and screams because he wasn't finished with it. He will point emphatically at what you think he wants and screech when you don't get it right. I long for the day when he can tell me what he wants... or do I? Ahhh, gone are the days when I'd treat myself to candles and succulents, wine glasses, cushions and photo frames - or tat as my husband calls it. Still, they made me feel at home. Since Sonny arrived, I've resigned myself to finding MegaBloks in the washing machine, nappy bags and wet wipes strewn all over the floor, baby socks... everywhere. Your home becomes a playground, and aside from a few nice vases and mirrors that eclipse his grubby little hands, our house permanently looks like we've been burgled. Babies are expensive. Not even mentioning the kit you need, there's clothes, nappies, toys, outings, birthday and Christmas presents. If you're lucky you may be able to indulge on the very odd ASOS purchase but when you have a baby, you automatically put yourself second. Your little one's needs trump your own. Extra everything. Dishes, laundry, tidying, cleaning. It doesn't help much when my darling boy pulls clean clothes off the clothes horse - a permanent fixture in our living room - and discards them around the floor. He also takes it upon himself to put items that don't meet his approval in the household waste. I am the dishwasher and there's a constant flow of dishes. Our two laundry baskets bulge and spill their contents onto the 'floordrobe'. Read more mumofsonny.blog 💙

Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day. ❤️ My bubs last year. 😍 #aboutaboy #valentines_day #throwback #love #cute #motherhood #mumofaboy #firstbaby #firsttimemom #mom #valentinesday #boy #myson #love

Hey Monday! Definitely not feeling as playful as Sonny. Swollen tonsils and feeling feeling poo. Any other mamas feel like they're getting constantly sick from their little ones at nursery? 🤒 #monday #childhood #stairs #play #motherhood #realmotherhood #honestmotherhood #mamawoes #sick #mumproblems

Mum of Sonny

mumofsonny

Hello, I'm a freelance writer and mum from Belfast. I specialise in human interest, fashion, beauty, lifestyle and celebrity profiles. I live with my best friend in the shape of a pretty amazing husband in the east of the city, our beautiful baby son Sonny and a boisterous rescue cat called Rex, a more appropriate name might be Wrecks. I've been putting pen to paper since I was a teenager. starting of with angst-ridden poems and progressing to write about things and people that inspire me. I love writing, it's a wonderful form of expression and I take pride in eliciting emotions in people. For me, that's the ultimate reward. I'm 30-something, and to my shame. it's taken me this long to galvanise myself to start a blog. It's probably a confidence thing but, as you get older, you're not so paralysed by what people think of you anymore. This is me, like it or lump it. With this blog, I'll be writing about my life, what I've learned, what I've still to learn and hopefully inspiring you and making you laugh and/or cry. I'm not here to ruffle feathers or be controversial. I'm just going to be myself. I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say. Love, Davina x

You’re amazing. Truly. Have a great week everyone! PS. Dads, I’m told guilt free naps are just as good as a bunch of 💐 . 💫VERY excited to be spending tomorrow morning with @mummy_mot at their HQ.
