Best bits....

[Redhairmum]

Hello all, Have a DS who is 14 months old, and have frequently searched for advice on these pages, have never left without a few possible remedies for whatever problem we were having this week/month!
So thought I'd post, and would love to know about the great moments you've had with DC's (apart from obvious first steps etc).
Oh and thanks for all great advice.

Lots of great moments, most of which I've forgotten. First time DS gave me a spontaneous hug and 'I love you' was quite special. When, age 3, he met one of my very best (grey haired, 40 year-old) friends for the first time with a cheerful 'Hello Grandad!'. His first outing in a school nativity production and the enthusiastic wave I got from the back row of the shepherds. The time a few years ago (age 8) when he bought something in a shop with 20% off in the sale and calculated the right price in his head impressively quickly before reaching the checkout was memorable for different reasons. And yesterday (now age 11) he met his best friend in town for a milkshake... a great moment because he's never had a best friend before.

"Mummy I love you, you're beautiful" DS1 4.6 - even when I feel like I've been up all night with DS2.
