My 2 yo has always loved to be held and carried, but at the moment he wants to be continually in my arms, and it is hard work. While trying to wash my hair in the shower earlier while holding a naked and slippery toddler, I just stopped for a minute and thought how deliciously snuggly his little body is and how his head just nestles in the crook of my neck. Wont be long till he is long and leggy like the others. He will never again be that little heavy bundle I used to drape over my shoulder or who would sleep on my chest.


I think today when all 4 are fighting for a slice of my lap, I will try to stop and appreciate the cuddles for the joy they are.

Wow F what are you trying to do to us? (Specifically 1 month post partum me!) that was so lovely - both your comment and that video. It's so true. I'm already cherishing every moment of newborn-ness with no 2 and lamenting how old and big no 1 is now (at only 2.8)... But yes we think it will last forever, every phase, every delight and every challenge and it won't, that's the real certainty!


Thank you for sharing and for the lovely, sob-wrenching reminder to really savour the cuddles and the little, ordinary moments...

My daughter is now 1 and has just realised the concept of trying to fight for the space on my knee by biting her big brother on the bum to get him off...and when she finally gets him off she gives him the smuggest look i've ever seen.


Not quite sure why but it warms the cockles of my heart more than anything else!!

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
