For so many years, I have taken you with me to shops and around on my daily adventures. As a small child you have been attached to me for your wellbeing and your simple cares, whether nappies or toilet visits, food, drinks and of course to be loved and looked after.
With Min-Min on the journey too, I have found that I have avoided shops, high streets and complexity completely, taking you both out of temptations way. Instead, we go to parks and places where you can have fun, explore and be yourselves, rather than feel restricted in an adult world of tasks and function.
But things have changed over the past couple of months.
I have realised, my bright sparkling Penny, that you have become the most wonderful companion. You have always been interesting to talk to and full of genuinely thoughtful insights. But now, I desperately want to take you out with me if I am going into West Norwood or Brixton, so we can chat and look around shops and learn about the world together. Daddy is often happy to take Minnie, so we can have some time just the two of us. Quality time.
Of course, it helps that nappies and tantrums are no longer a factor. But you are starting to feel more of a like-minded companion to travel through life with me ... and I love it! One day, your sister will also be big enough to join us on these trips, and we can all explore the world together :)
