Yes my darling Ava, keep carrying your baby sister on your hip as much as you do. Carry her and hold her so that you will never forget how it felt for her to be small in your arms. Even when my arms were tired I used to carry you. We would walk down streets...

With each of my babies I have adored this. When they are just old enough to reach out their tiny hands and play with the water in the shower. The way their delicate fingers dance under the droplets. The way they find such delight in the discovery. The purest innocence and joy. Before she was...

They read every day. Often they’ll read a few times a day. They read so much more than I did at their age. They genuinely love books. They pause to tell me the funny bits. “Hey mum, listen to this!

A first. Today she played with her toes every time we put her down. I have always loved this stage where they play with their toes & talk to the ceiling with a big happy grin on their face. In my mind I thought the toe playing stage was still a couple of weeks away when...
