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!!

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
