Every now and then our children surprise us with a little act of kindness, a thoughtful gesture, a sweet word out of the blue.
These are the moments that make us forget how tiring, hard and depleting being a parent can be. These are the moments we treasure in our hearts.
Mum: Look Ben, there is a cat on the roof of our shed!
Ben: Ooooh mum, a cat!

Ben: White
Mum: Is it only white?

Mum: What’s its name?
Ben: Ben
Mum: No Ben, not your name. The cat’s name
Ben: I think… cuddle!
