I covered this subject before about how I felt raising an only child and how I thought it would or rather wouldn’t affect my Daughter.

You see, my Daughter is not an only child. She has a much older sibling from her Daddy’s side. Of whom she is especially close to. Inseparable when they are together, both the image of their Daddy.

As I take a rare afternoon nap with my Daughter (on holiday!) I realise how fortunate I am to get so much alone time with her. From one on one activities to snapping memories and even precious cuddle time. My Daughter doesn’t have to share me with anyone. read more

Every time I leave her now. For bed, for pre school, for the grocery shopping and today when I had to be admitted for an operation. It killed me. Her little voice really pulls at my heart strings until I remember that actually she just wants a reaction. She is too young to understand how sad it makes me feel. She loves her bed and is asleep within ten seconds of me leaving the room, at pre school she settles in just fine and when I said goodbye to her today she did not even give me a second glance after I handed her the iPad as a distraction! So I have learnt to be tough and not let the little Madame coerce Mummy into falling for it. read more
