HELLO, LITTLE LAD

It's a boy! At last, an opportunity to put all those confident opinions about parenting into practice. The routines. The calm approach. The firm belief that your child will simply understand how things are going to work. Lovely. He's reviewed your proposals and responded by being sick down your neck. You can read every book and buy a pram with the suspension of a luxury estate car, but you're still negotiating with someone whose main interests are milk and the ceiling. Before long, you'll be singing instructions about putting an arm through a sleeve and celebrating a successful wind as though you discovered electricity. You'll learn together, and you don't have to get everything perfect. Your little boy already has the most important thing: people who love him wholeheartedly. Roast with love x
