I have a 5yo and a 10mo so will have to tell you the best things about them right now. Otherwise we'd be here all day because every new stage seems to be better than the last...
DS...
He's just walking and holds his arms up and out for balance and concentrates so hard until he's about a metre from me and he rushes forwards giggling and shouting 'cuggle mama'.
Holding up his arms to be picked up and snuggling in to my shoulder when he gets there.
How pleased he is with himself every time he learns something new. He claps himself and shouts 'yay'.
Laughing in his sleep. He did this from his very first night on earth. It's a proper Mutley laugh.
DD...
Oh she's so big. She knows so much and loves learning new things. She tells me brand new information to her with such fascination.
She writes notes to me, draws pictures, makes bookmarks etc all with declarations of 'love you mama!!!!!!' I keep them all.
The ways she flies out of school, hair wild, clothes skewed, chattering too quickly and thrusting piles of pictures at me.
How she adores her little brother and can make him laugh like nobody else can.
She's just good and kind and interesting and curious and funny and bright and big and she sits curled in her armchair reading her book with those ridiculously long legs tucked under her and I love her with a ferocity which scares me.
Ohhhhhhh you have it all to come. I adore both of my dc immeasurably but I had dd first and she made me a mother. You won't believe how much you could love another being.
