ReplyDeleteSmooch!
Lioness
Even me who can't stand babies [shhhhh don't tell mine ;-)] found myself reminising with this list.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in Dude's 8 months I had him minded yesterday so I could Get Stuff Done. After 4 hours without him, when I went back to collect him, I was struck by how that 'new baby' smell had returned. The smell had never actually left, but because we were together all the time I hadn't really noticed it too much.
I learned something from this - always stop and smell the roses but most importantly, plant that new baby smell in your memory because it may be gone before you even know it!
I want my baby out so I can experience all that!
