It's time to look back again and wonder, baffled, how small boy has arrived at another birthday. It was the same last year and the year before. The years seems to be flying past, it feels like no time since he was the baby who would only sleep wrapped in a fleecy blanket in my… Continue reading Small boy is 7
Here we are again, June 17th. This was the date in 2019 that boy3 was scheduled to be born by caesarean section.
