One thing that keeps me up at night as a new parent, is the question “Am I doing enough for my child?” Both Mark and I want Benjamin to have the best possible childhood he can have, and as his primary caregiver during the week I am desperately trying to fill his days with things that will stimulate his mind, senses and growing limbs so that he will be the best that he can be. Can we say over achiever – he is only 3 months old, give it a rest Mum!

So in an effort to help him along, I am constantly looking for all sorts of new and fun things to do. Yesterday we discovered that he fits perfectly in the laundry basket, and so now he is flown down to the laundry and back up again on a warm nest of freshly laundered clothes. In my mind he is feeling the different textures, feeling the warmth and the motion, and appreciating the smell. But really, he is probably just getting a taste for flying first class!
