COURAGE TO ENCOURAGE 3/10
As a parent of three, I know it’s easier to suggest solutions than to stay patient in the moment 👶. Emotions can get the better of us. Reflection matters.

Ah, yes, an article asking how to create another baby boom by spending money like it's Monopoly, while ignoring the small details like, oh, the entire post-war economic boom and scientific advances. 🤦‍♂️ Because clearly, the best way to fix a birthrate issue is to write an essay instead of solving actual problems. 📉💡

In the world of toddlers, bedtime is just a suggestion, and sleep is a foreign concept. The night owl life chose them. 🌙🦉

Leaving the year behind, starting the new year together

Good riddance to the year just gone. I hope for more light in the year ahead.

I’ve been at home over Christmas thinking about you, upset about how things are and how angry your mum is.

This weekend was an opportunity to end a horrible year and start a new one with you comfortable and happy.

An imposed plan but I’m glad to share time with you

A few weeks ago your mum imposed this weekend and my requests to discuss and create a plan that accommodates everyone, were refused.

I didn’t want to give your mum an excuse to not let me have you, so I cancelled plans to see family and let her know I would be at home. On top of everything your mum’s done, I can no longer make plans without the risk of her taking you away last minute.

Saturday

I asked your mum to drop you off on the street by home, it’s quiet with no traffic and in front of the entrance to our flat. Your mum refused and insisted to meet at the station.

I arrived and you were sleeping. It was raining heavily and your mum suggested I take you for a walk while you sleep. I walked around the neighbourhood, like I did when you were very little. I was soaked and cold but at least I had you for the day.

Uncle’s fun present

Your uncle had got you a present, but because your mum took you away when we were meant to visit him, you were unable to collect it and open it while he was in the UK as he’s now on holiday.

He had bought you a dancing cactus loaded with his voice singing a special happy new year message for you.

I wanted him to get the chance to see you open your present so I had let him know I’d try to video call him when we were home. After texting him he replied that he had briefly parked up to respond and would find somewhere to call me back from, as he was keen to see you.

All the way from the other side of the world, he finally saw you open your present. You enjoyed carrying the cactus friend around all day.

Loving hugsPutting him on the sofa for a restBest mates

The rest of the day was some of the happiest we’ve had together. We were calm and playing, you were giggling and being silly. It was the best time.

Sunday

This was the first opportunity I’ve had you for 2 days in a row since your mum took you away. Your mum still won’t let me have you overnight. I miss giving you a bath and knowing you were sleeping nearby overnight. I miss your snores and how beautiful and happy you were in the mornings.

Reminiscing being together

When we were living together, I would prepare your night bottle and I would give you your morning bottle, after playing for a bit, after you woke up. These moments were so important for us to bond – I gave you lots of kisses on your just woken up face.

Back in the present, our day together was another super lovely time that I will cherish, I was the happiest dad knowing that the first day of the year was together, even if confined within less than 5 hours.

As it wasn’t raining and generally a nice but cold day, I took you out. I’d never gone for a walk with you and wasn’t really sure if you would be able to handle the journey with your little legs!

Walking around the block

After a decent walk, I thought it’d be best to pop you in the buggy where you quickly slept and I walked around the neighbourhood. These moments, however mundane, are my favourite of the whole week. Every kiss on your squishy nose is the best.

Before heading over to the station to hand you over to your mum, I changed into my running clothes. I’m running the Big City marathon in a few months and starting training properly. It will be a Sunday so I’m hoping I’ll be able to swap the day to the Saturday. I wish I could see you after the run, there would be no better motivation than seeing you at the end. Fingers crossed your mum will cooperate in some way, otherwise you know who I’ll be thinking of while running the 26 miles.

Sunday evenings

It’s extremely difficult to end the week without you. Sunday evenings are the hardest moments. Every day I wish we could be living life together, like visiting the town hall to see their special events or the activities promoted at the activity centre next door or just hang out with friends at the eateries bustling with families.

It’s amazing how much has changed since summer. It wasn’t so long ago when we were at the town hall with our friends Jim and Elly, you were almost naked, it was gloriously sunny and I kept you hydrated with endless watermelon.

Running past the town hall I thought about all the things we’ve missed out on. I’m sure we’ll be able to do more soon, but this last year we’ve missed so many special moments together.

Town Hall, a family space, we’ll do more things here soon

Happy New Year, baby

I’ll keep fighting for you. You’re the most stunning little girl I’ve ever met and can’t wait to see what each year will bring.
