(are you sitting down, ‘coz this really is amazing…)
“You’re a good person mum” (I know – amazing hey!) and then he said it again, just to make sure I understood it… “You’re a good person mum” with the emphasis on the ‘good’… He’s three… Three.

Sometimes I have almost heard myself repeat my mother’s anguished cries of “you kids could drive a mother to drink!” I’ve been to the edge, I’ve been at the end of my rope too. But today was my turn in the three year old spotlight. And it was Oh. So. Sweet…
