A birthday in lockdown for my little man
Boy2 is 5! I’ve always felt this is quite a big age for kids. His first chance to celebrate with the school friends he met in September and will know for the next 7 years. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Blame Coronavirus. He’s at home, still stuck with our faces for yet another…
