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!!

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
