Miss Poppet

So here I sit on my lovely comfortable new sofa from Ikea & I think my god, tomorrow is February 2nd & my son, my baby, is going to be one.

It’s hard for me to imagine that I have a one year old son. Its hard to think that a year has passed already! My baby has done so much this year. He has smiled, he has not one but nine teeth, his father has tought him to climb the stairs (we have now invested in a stair gate), he has learnt to crawl, he stands up. He laughs his amazing infectious laugh. He sings to us. He waves goodbye. He smiles his dazzling beautiful smile. He calls us mam & dada.

He has brought so much to us. He is truly amazing. He is my heart. I love my son so much.

It feels like he has always been here. It is sometimes hard to imagine life without him because Boy Slumber & Fin are all that are truly important. What I thought was important, painting the town red, having drinks with friends, the latest movie/book/cd, those lovely shoes,  is nothing compared to how important my son & partner are to me. Life changes so much. To people who are ahead of me on this journey will remember how they thought this once & yet how clear it is that family would be so important. And people who have not yet met their love or started a family will not yet appreciate the importance of my son & my darling partner to me.

Anywho, I am so thrilled by the year I have had with Boy Slumber & my darling Fin. I can’t believe how quickly the year has gone & I am so excited about our future together. Our amazing journey together as a family.

And my darling son, sleep well tonight because tonight is your last night as ‘zero’, tomorrow morning you will be one & we will celebrate your birthday together, you me & dada. Our little family.

Sleep well baby & I will see you in the morning to wish you Happy Birthday, the first of many.
