Day 1
Most days we count down the hours until bedtime. Waiting for your seemingly endless energy to fade, so that we can enjoy an hour or so of peace before a new day starts.
But not tonight. We revelled in your squeals of laughter as you ran around together, trying to see who could bounce the highest. Sweet little Violet, you don't often win that competition. But when your big brother senses that you're starting to get fed up, he'll often lay down and let you have your moment of victory.
This has been the first year that you've properly played together and we are so enjoying watching your relationship bloom.
Here's to the first day of a new, beautiful year.
