How have your kids made you proud recently? (feddit.uk)

My eldest (5) recently started showing an interest in litter picking. So we grabbed her a stick and she started using it on the way home from school (with an adults supervision).

I mean don't get me wrong, she's a nightmare as soon as she gets in the door but for that brief 25 minute walk home she's making me super proud.

Sounds like you're adjusting to the new world rather well.

I spent a lot of time getting my daughter into tummy time, so she was pretty mobile pretty quickly. My son on the other hand wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.

Thanks! Doing what I can.

We're doing the shared parental leave thing starting in April which is just going to be so cool to be there up until his 1st birthday and see him develop without the stresses of work.

Being at work at the moment means I tend to miss him at his smileyest and he's a little more subdued when I get in - and my SO is tired out from the day. It'll be good to have the mornings with him. Not entirely sure if I'll be welcome at mother and baby groups, but I'll see what's around. If all else fails I suppose there's always the pub? They've got a playground...
