Everybody tells you it’s the big achievements in life that are important. Buying that first house, getting married, owning that expensive car. All of which I hope to one day achieve. However they don’t tell you about the little ones that mean just as much..

Wether it’s getting Fred to do three consecutive wees on the potty, spend a day without his nunu stuck in his mouth or brush his teeth by dancing around like an eighties pop star singing the brushy brushy song. These are the little steps that seem like huge accomplishments at the time. Soon to be forgotten when they become a regular thing but if you manage to combine a number of these in one day then you’ve hit the jackpot and can look forward to a good nights sleep ahead.

Sometimes I think we need to remind ourselves that one day the big achievements will come so why worry now. We’ve enough little steps to accomplish first..
