My youngest (16 months) has started giving hugs on command. The best part, when he leans in he makes the 'ahhhhhhh' noise.

And my eldest (five) had sports day on Tuesday and did absolutely incredible.

What about you and yours?

My daughter (8) enjoys gymnastics, so she's pretty strong and agile.

The other week, a boy she knows from school decided to challenge her to a chase game in the park ("I'm going to GET you"), so she sprints to this big climbing frame, monkeys up one side of it, climbs hand over hand across the horizonal ladder thing, swings up to the platform at the top and then looks back to see if he's behind her..

..he's still struggling to get up the first part of the climbing frame

and I laughed to myself and thought: "yeah, just keep leaving the boys in the dust".

That was a proud dad day.

For all the genuinely challenging moments, there's no beating that sense of pride when one of your kids gets it right.
