Truth! How we want them to sleep but we also get up when they’ve slept too long.

hungry wet or wanting to play lol many remember those days like it was yesterday. Got to say my son was a dream baby - I would wake him for a feed and he'd sleep through the night!:-) hugs Jan xx

thanks Gordon all well with us but unfortunately we have an isolated case of covid announced today - someone who travelled and returned with it:-( hopefully it is a one off - they have been sensible and followed guidelines and self isolated so we are hoping it willnot be spread into the wider community:-) hope all is good with you:-) hugs jan xx

Nicely done, but hunger for milk? Company? Love? Womb? It keeps parents guessing (and awake)! Aloha! Rico

So perfectly captures the parent of a newborn, getting a bit of sweet rest before having to rouse again, best wishes for the contest, Jan.

Thanks Michelle - i find the pic a little bizarre like a peeping Tom so I went for a more acceptable theme for the poem:-) hugs Jan xx
