When Maxi was born my mother in law told me that he would bring me more joy then she could put into words. I laughed at her, thinking what did she know. Well it turns out for once she was actually right!
That smile, those eyes and oh hair that it oh so soft and falls in curls on the pillows. How can I have made something so delectable, funny, clever, petulant, handsome, sporty and equally infuriating.
Eight was a year filled with football, minecraft, fifa, street cricket, florida, a new puppy, walking to and from school, cubs, friends, scooting, jumpers for goalposts, cross country trials and new found freedoms.
I hope that nine is filled with excitement, new experiences, love and happiness.
Lovely! Children really are the most amazing gift aren’t they. Hope he had a fabulous birthday.
I couldn’t agree more, especially with the ups and downs 😉

Goodness! Don’t they grow up fast? My eldest will turn nine in a couple of months. She seems a world away now from the dimple-cheeked, smiley-eyed hip-height imp I remember so well. Can’t escape the feeling we’re entering a new era…
