Our kids are growing up! Mikey turned 3 six weeks ago and in just 2 weeks we'll no longer have a baby in the home. It's hard to believe.
The kids are awesome together, the play and have such a good time. A sibling with a close age gap (2 years) was the best gift we could have given Mikey. Naturally they have their fair share of disagreements, but the good times far outweigh these.
Mikey had his first birthday party this year. The plan was for one in our garden, but the weather interfered and we ended up having it at a local indoor playcentre - the kids loved it. 3 is definitely a great age, the age of reason is being tentatively entered and words like "please" and "thank you" even get offered spontaneously on occasion.
Em is a rather different child from our sensible and cautious Mikey - we've nicknamed her "Kamikaze Baby". She'll nose-dive off anything, any height and if we don't catch her and she bumps she just sits up and giggles like a mad thing. I suspect her toddler years could be slightly more intense than Mikey's were (a thing I wouldn't have believed possible a year ago :) ).

Great to read, Meg. Still early days for Leah, Fi and I but there is so much to look forward to it seems.
