Last weekend I made the decision that my 2 year old was getting too big for his cot and it was time to move him into a proper bed, there is only 17 months between my two sons so it was the first time in 3 and a half years that we had taken the cot down. It was the beginning of the realisation that my babies were no longer babies but without me realising it they had turned into little boys ... the realisation hit me even harder when I looked through some photos of them I took yesterday from a walk we went on.

My two little boys, happily playing together seeing who can throw a stone into the water the furthest. Clearly no sign of my tiny little babies anymore, they have their own personalities and characteristics, likes and dislikes. My eldest happily told me as I was getting him ready for bed that evening that his little brother was his bestest friend. Enough to make any mothers heart melt!
