Can we have a thread to gush over our children?

[Thickhead]

That's all really. Just overwhelmed by how much I love my little boy. How proud of him I am. He's two and a bit, and so affectionate and loving and gentle, and has just started trying to talk. He loves flowers, and insects, and old ladies. He has beautiful hazel eyes which pick up whatever colour he's wearing, and mad fluffy hair which took ages to grow. He brings me so much joy my heart can hardly stand it.

I very nearly didn't have him - he was an accidental pregnancy - and my blood runs cold when I think of what I would have missed out on if I hadn't had him. I never knew I had this capacity for love.

Tell me about your babies and how lovely they are, please!

My amazing 15yo DS still wants me to sit on his bed and chat to him for a bit every night before bed. He still hugs me and tells me he loves me and I am so proud of the young man he is growing into.

Oh I love this thread already.

My little girl is 3 and a half. She's my little Ray if sunshine. She has huge brown eyes which look even bigger because she wears thick glasses but I know she'll rock it as she gets older because at 3.5 she has more confidence now than I've had in my whole 30 years on earth.

She loves so deeply and is always showing me and her daddy how much she loves her. She is a fierce protector of her best friend and will stand up to anyone who tries to mess with him.

She pads across our landing every night without fail with her Teddy and water bottle in hand and climbs in for snuggly cuddles. And I absolutely adore that she does this.

There's a good chance that she'll bey one and only and I couldn't be prouder to call her my girl 🥰

My son is my hero.

He has had some very traumatic experiences, more than the average adult would experience in a lifetime.

Despite what he has been through he is kind, loving, trusting, creative and a very happy little boy.

He has gone from being a toddler who could not be away from me at all, he had to sleep on me, I couldn’t leave the room or be out of his sight. To being a five year old who can sleep at Grandmas house, go on walks with my partner, go to dance class and be left there happily.

Hes gone from being a toddler who really struggled with food to a five year old who now recognises when he is hungry but also when he is full.

He has come on hugely with both his speech and his BSL and now has the confidence to use any of the languges he knows around other people.
