Meet Jim

Meet Jim. Jim is four. In fact he is 4 today and he is my youngest son. If you've been following my blog for a while you will have no doubt seen his cheeky little face pop up from time to time. You can't miss him really ... he's got personality in abundance.

So to mark his very special day (and let's face it's a special day for me too!) I have trawled the Thomas family album to give you, not just an insight into my little fella but to perhaps go some way to explain the dark circles under my eyes. He's an early riser ... he's demanding ... he's an old man in a toddlers body.

He barely tolerates Mummy's camera.

He know's what he wants and often gets it.

He looks super in a hat but it just has to be at a jaunty angle.

He's trouble with a capital T.

He's just like his Mum.

He will always be my baby** and ...

... they will always be everything.

Happy birthday Jim xxx

** Many of you will be aware that Jim was born with a cleft lip and palate. It was diagnosed when I was pregnant and he undertook two operations to correct it in the first 6 months of his life. To say this was a hard time would be a massive understatement but the support from the specialists at Morriston Hospital in Swansea and the team at CLAPA was amazing and I still feel indebted to everyone who helped us through this difficult time. Thank you. xx
