Episode 6: Eeyore in a Lightning Mcqueen T-shirt (Being the Middle Child)

Help We're Outnumbered! · 2025-06-03

This week, it’s all about our middle child – Eli. Our four-year-old bundle of cuddles, Hot Wheels fanatic, and old soul!

We’re having a chat about what it was like going from one kid to two, how Eli handled the absolute mayhem of the twins arriving, and why we lovingly refer to him as “Eeyore”.

He’s basically the Tails to Noah’s Sonic, the most likely to have a meltdown over toast, and still sneaks into our bed most nights like it’s no big deal.

From navigating all the feelings to surviving on a diet that’s 90% beige, this one’s for anyone raising a sensitive little soul who knows exactly what shape their toast should be cut into – and isn’t shy about telling you.

Expect laughs, a bit of chaos, and a few random-but-crucial parenting lessons we’ve picked up along the way, like why you should never, under any circumstances, give him the wrong cup. Seriously. Just don’t.
