I sometimes think my memory very convenietnly forgets the tough times and that's a good thing They were never that bad and i have wonderful memories from my boys, even when they were tough the feeling of acomplishment once we got through those times is what i remember the most.

DD (#3) has had some reflux troubles and in the times when that was not yet being treated she was nothing like my boys but once she was being treated i kept thinking ot myself 'this is the baby i know she is meant to be'.

I've just had a lie on the ground with her while she had a play so placidly just staring at me most of the time. She's perfect whether it's a good day or a bad day.

Same goes for the boys as pre-schooler and toddler when they are being really cheeky. They are still perfect just the way they are.
