This, of course, is a picture of my two munchkins (you might recognise it from when mini-Monkey was born, last Autumn, but I just couldn’t resist posting it again).
I was so worried about how Todzilla would react to being knocked off her ‘Only Child’ post, but she has turned out to be a fantastic big sister.
There has been the odd little incident, like burying mini-Monkey under a mountain of folded washing because ‘Bubba’s cold’, dragging her off the baby swing by her ankles to play with her and rolling her across the floor, but – occasional rough-housing aside – she’s genuinely besotted by her baby sis.
Just this evening she insisted on leaping out of bed and running downstairs because she’d forgotten to ‘Kiss Bubba night-night!’
This picture perfectly captures that adoration, and I love it so much I turned this family photo into artwork for OH’s 35th birthday late last year. Now they’ll forever be my babies – well, on canvas, at least.
What a beautiful picture – one to cherish forever!

Lovely photo, makes me want a sibling for Leo!
Really gorgeous picture and lovely post!
That really is divine, both the photograph and the picture. Aren’t children amazing? And horribly photogenic?
So very precious and that painting is such a treasure x
I remember seeing this photo first time round, it’s a cracker of a pic. And lovely to have it as art in your home. Hope Bubs has recovered from the towel incident, bless her.
That is absolutely beautiful. And what a really special sentiment to give your husband.

Oh that really is a stunning photo!! Lovely xx
Just a beautiful photo and it also looks amazing as a canvas. I wonder how B will react to his new sibling in April, but your photo gives me hope all will be ok xx
Such a gorgeous photo. It looks stunning as a canvas…
An absolutely stunning photo I can see why you chose to have it ‘canvased’
