This is a post just for me - so's I don't forget a rare special moment I had today with LL. My middle boy I fear may be somewhat neglected - not in a complete way, but in that due to natural circumstances his other brothers at separate times have requested my attention more. This has created a pretty laid back little boy (don't get me wrong he is as stubborn as an ox when he wants to be...) but whilst I had huge guilts prior to his birth about his brother losing his mummy, it turned out that his toddler brother didn't lose his mummy at all - in fact he probably demanded more of her attention than previously, and LL would just sit back and watch as his brother stropped away. Now that his younger brother has come along he is of an age whereby he dotes on his older sibling and follows him like a puppy and copies him like a parrot - hence my attention is now diverted towards his younger sibling!
Where this is leading to is that today we shared a moment. BB and CC were otherwise engaged (outdoors) and LL came in to seek me out. We then spent 5 mins nose to nose exchanging cuddles and numerous kisses (and the odd rub-a-noses). He spent the entire time with a cheeky glint in his eye and a grin from ear to ear and my heart doubled in size in that precious few minutes.
I think in that moment I truly learned what unconditional love is about.
