I was in starbucks yesterday with a friend who's baby is a similar age to Jamie. Both babies were looking angelic, fast asleep in their prams. A woman waiting in the queue was having a look at them and said, "this is the easy part, I've got two aged 7and 8 and it just gets harder from now on".

Me and my friend were a bit taken aback and unsure what to say. I'm loving being a mum at the moment, Jamie is fantastic and I love watching him grow and develop. But I don't really like the thought that it's all downhill from here!

My friend and I decided that she must have meant that motherhood gets more challenging when babies start moving/talking/throwing tantrums/becoming more willful... And I guess once they become teenagers there will be a whole new set of worries!
