DD3 turns 11 next Saturday. We've discussed that she'll have to be like the Queen and have a second birthday when this is all over. We're staying well away from my parents, partly because of general lockdown, but also because my Mum is very frail and could be killed by the virus. We usually visit them every day, so they are very close to the children.
Tonight, DD3 came downstairs from bed and said "Could I have a doctor's mask for my birthday, because then I could hug Nanny and Grandad. I've just realised that I'm not going to be able to hug them on my birthday
"
She was in floods of tears. We phoned Mum and Dad and they spoke, but it's very hard.
