I recently told my Benny Boy that two years ago when Charlotte was around seven moths old I was seriously considering leaving him. He had been such a sod! His response was that he should have worked harder at being annoying. For that comment he will get the much deserved clip around the ear. I was driving at the time. I must remember the song from the early stages of our relationship. "I'm sticking with you, 'cos I'm made of glue". Well, nobody said it was superglue!
It was hard as new parents. Ben was great for the first six months and is a wonderful father, but he did go through a childish stage.; I think the two of them, Ben and Charlotte were battling it out for my love and affection. I wish I realised how easy it was in the early days with a new born baby. Things got tough when Charlotte could move around. With her bright red hair it was inevitable that Charlotte would have a temper that Queen Elizabeth 1 would be jealous of. From the moment I gave birth and Charlotte's piercing blue eyes locked into mine, I knew there would be trouble ahead. I could see that we would clash like the Titans, and we do. We are so incredibly close, but we have our moments and I am dreading her teenage years. These pre-school days of cuteness are truly amazing.
I have been asked by one of the Mums at Waterbabies if I could "babysit" her three month old, Felix next week for the half an hour she will be in the pool with her toddler, Hugh as her husband will be away on a stag weekend. Yay, baby cuddles. Eeek, puke and poo. The most worrying thing of all is that Felix, like Charlotte is a red head!
