Leaving your baby is one of the strangest feelings. You miss them like mad but I am convinced that once in a while it does you good as a couple. You can't really put a price on the ability to sleep and get a bit of perspective back on the world. We have just come back from a week in Portugal which we both badly needed. Sammy spent the week with Jo's parents in Cornwall and by all accounts had a brilliant time.And although we thought he might be a bit off-ish, he loved seeing us when we got back too.
It's going to be all change for him soon. Phase 1 is almost over with us getting a new nanny for a couple of days a week and him starting nursery.
And phase 2 will no doubt bring a new round of unexpected highs and lows. His world and his curiosity will get bigger than ever. I guess your relationship with your kids is one where you have got to gradually let them go, find their way, experience life when you are not right by their side. Damn, that seems hard.
It amazing to think nearly two years has gone past. I know most parents love their kids but he's truely an amazing little boy.
