Go for it! My husband is an amazing artist can just draw like you and it's all so natural. If it made lots of money he'd do it as a career lol

We saw the Picasso exhibt years and years ago maybe 2000-2001 in Australia had some very early works from when he started. really fascinating. They did the same for Monet and Dali both also fab.

I wish you luck!

I've given up on sleeping properly ever again, as in the rest of my life.

With my 1st I wrote down everything, with my 2nd I did for a little while and stopped. One great way if you still want to that is! Is to buy a diary a normal one and then when you have a quiet moment quickly write in it "you said cheese today 1st time!) and that's enough!

I'm expecting my 3rd now hopefully I'll remember to look after them LOL

Lovely picture :D

gosh you are brave on the potty training! Glad he's doing so well. Delayed by 6-12 months that would make him 12-18 months where they don't talk much at all anyway? Baby signing is great I did it with both my kids, sadly or not so sadly both spoke early and now never bloody keep quiet!!

Its hard isn't it we get wrapped up and consumed in silly things we forget and live in fear of things that actually made us happy once. Good on you that's two things you have done a drawing and sharing it! And it's fab!

My husband always says to me, if it itches badly enough you will scratch it. Going on you have an itch, have a good old scratch :D

Sounds like Eliza, well in fact most little girls! I often shake my hands and scream and I now understand my parents saying "would you just listen for a second" :D

I can relate too, except it was at the hands of my adoptive mother. Who became incredibly violent and abusive emotionally for 11 years. At 21 I decided that my only escape was to leave the UK. I had met my husband 6 months previously. Although he was a friend of my brothers we kept it secret from him and my mother.

I cut full contact with her 4 years ago. It's a very hard journey to come out of and I can't imagine doing it alone with children. Your are so brave and so lucky nothing ever happened.

Just say what you really mean!
I feel for you and this will sound weird. As I have perhaps the opposite and no I am not bragging I am talking about it from the other side. My kids spoke early, are huge giants etc. People have literally got me in corners at playgroups when I went, stopped that about 2 years ago. "what do you do to make them talk so well?, what books are you reading, how do you coach them, exactly what are you doing, it's not natural you know".

TBH I am chatterbox (can you tell?) so is my husband if you want to be heard you gotta talk more than likely. I am one of those hands off attachment parents. My kids don't sleep through the night either 5/7 nights Eliza is up and getting in our bed at 2 years old Jerry's waking every 2-4 hours and I pander to his needs.
why because actually it's my way :D and I can't be arsed to do the perfect way. what ever that is.

At least you can see that and aren't paranoid about this and that.

Remember this. There is never a right time.
We always wanted 4 but now I am pregnant with my 3rd I often see nothing but nappies, leaking shitty nappies at that, endless breastfeeding, teething, tantrums and I've already done 4 years and this will be another 2 years, I can't bear to add to that another 2 years. Like you what about "me" But I am thrilled to be having another it will be OK, I am getting counselling, I am not joking BTW I feel resentment at the thought of giving up things that bad!

But if you do want another child then do it when it feels right to you, obviously this isn't right now, could be next week or the week after who knows but when it comes go for it. Having children is lovely - most of the time lol
