Not a parent yet but saving both the book and your article on the top of my "parenting" note, loved it Nic!

Loved this Nic, I'm going to pass it onto expectant parents for sure. Your Tom is a delight,possibly because of these learnt parenting pearls!

We read expecting better but I've been slacking on Cribsheet. Finally pushed me over the edge my man!

Wishing you and your family well.

Nice piece, Nic. And beautiful photo! It brings me back to when my kids were toddlers: indelible memories and experiences. I remember they'd say to me "enjoy these moments as they'll go away and never return". As obvious as this sounds, it's true. I wish I could summon those moments back, as crazy and sometimes stressful and hectic as they were. Each age has its own beauties, but those early days were invaluable. And you fully realize this later!

Thanks, Silvio. Yes, I'm definitely wanting to hold onto these times and not them pass too quickly. Each day he gets more engaging and his giggle has to be the sweetest music I've ever heard.
