Congrats to you. My little boy is 2 and a half now-He's just told me that he "Don't like rawberries "(Strawberries) anymore and smashed a pint pot in my Belfast sink.

Some good help here from the board.

And a fascinating insight into children below.

What an ageist comment!

Congrats Alan. Being a parent for the first time is a mighty strange feeling, surreal even. Your life will change significantly from now on..... change that to dramatically if you have another.

btw you might not want to read this but even though they are supposed to be a gift from heaven be warned every one of the little bguggers comes with a bill attached.......

Congratulations, AlanK!

My daughter is 8 years old but I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. And she is still my sweetheart.

She'll change your life, all for the better. Again, congratlations.

Congratulations Alan!

My lad was born on 1st of April and was 3 on Friday. Life will never be the same again! For the better though. My second is due in October and i'm hoping for a little girl this time. That will be my work done.
