Back from the sandpit

"You'll understand when you have a child of your own," they said. "You can't even imagine what it's like," they said. "You have no idea how much free time you have now," they said. And then she was in shock at where all that time had gone, how the stains on her clothes could form a chronicle of the entire day, and that a small child's shoe could hold a medium-sized sandpit. And so, one new mum started drawing her experiences at night to unwind and prepare other parents for what was to come. What will you encounter, what will surprise you, annoy you, move you, or amuse you? You'll find the answers in this unique parenting diary, which is often more telling than a long-winded speech.
