I wrote it more for me to read in a few years time, so it's a bonus that someone else got something out of it. Parenthood can be scary at times, and I think you tend to forget about those times. Whenever I think to myself that the next one will be easier, I remind myself that when Stan was extremely young (as opposed to just very young as he is now) and wouldn't go back to sleep, we tried everything, but he simply didn't sleep until he was ready to. I think it's easy to fall into the trap to think that we learnt how to settle Stan and that next time we can do that from day 1, but it's as much to do with the fact he learnt to settle himself. Next time we'll be in the same situation no doubt :-) The fact he's got a fantastic mum has made things a lot less scary though. I realise you were joking, but cron's not working on the server at the moment (I tried to schedule this post but it didn't work) so I guess I'll have to manually increase his age... :-) I’m glad you enjoyed reading it, cheers.

Definitely takes some of the fear out of "It'll be my time soon"! I kinda always hoped having one it'd suddenly make sense. Happy (belated) birthday Stan! Have you set up a cron task to increment Stan in case you forget?? I liked reading this, thanks for taking the time to write it. Definitely takes some of the fear out of “It’ll be my time soon”!

Have you set up a cron task to increment Stan in case you forget??
