Favourite age of your child so far?

I really enjoyed it when Maddi started walking. Suddenly a whole new world opened up to her.
I do miss the early baby stage too when she would sleep anywhere and didnt need to be constantly entertained.

Keira was a horrid baby so never really enjoyed any of the early staged. When she turned 4 she went through a lovely stage where she suddenly seemed like a real little person and was just fun to hang out with.

I get what you mean, but I'm really loving the age JJ's at now - just developing so much personality. It seems to go in waves, maybe something to do with growth spurts, I have days where I'd happily give him away for a couple of weeks but that's always followed by a couple of weeks of "isn't he cool"

I'm loving the age that lil miss is at now (almost 17 mths - eek! ), her little personality is emerging and she is just so cute and lovable and cuddly and chattery. I missed this age with the gremlins really coz I was heavily pregnant will lil miss and too sick, tired and fat to appreciate it.

I'm loving the age the gremlins are at too (just turned 3) - the questions, the way they try to rationalise things in their world. I'm not enjoying Sienna's stubborness or Mercedes' grizzliness tho.

And Maya is in a bit of a feral stage atm, but she has her lovely moments.

I've found with all of my kids that it seems to go in cycles - they'll have 3 or 4 mths where they are really hard work and i am tearing my hair out, then literally overnight they suddenly become really delightful again and they're like that for another few months. Apparently most kids are like that, or at least according to the Playcentre training I did.

To be completely honest, in general I have only really *really* enjoyed Natalie from about 12 months - I guess when she started walking. Not that we didn't have good moments under a year, but with the allergies palava, plus her constant stranger danger thing from 2 months to about a year, it was very hard work.

I would have been happy to have her arrive at a year old But I'm loving this stage now, even though some days it's very hard work, it's just great to see her interacting with objects/people and also that she can entertain herself and go where she wants, and the things she comes up with that I haven't concsciously 'taught' her

I guess it's being able to see her turning into a little person with a sense of humour, and generally she's more fun to be around each day (says the mummy who was so happy to have a morning away from her yesterday )

I really enjoyed DP's daughter at 4 going on 5 when she was just about to start school. School changes them a whole bunch if they haven't done daycare or much kindy.
