Alexander Turns 11

I mean you shouldn’t have favourites but (haha)…Alexander who turns 11 today, is definitely in my top three (!) and he’s always been my shadow! The most caring and attentive big brother to his little best friend Florence, this one’s either got his head stuck in a book or he’s playing football (with serious skill) whatever the weather.

A laugh-maker, joy-bringer, caring old soul, Mummy’s boy (in the best way), hilariously funny to his core, to know Xander really is to love Xander. He makes friends everywhere he goes and lights up every room he enters with that big grin of his and those warm, kind eyes! Our little philosopher, I love his wise observations and clever counsel to his friends and siblings and the way he makes everyone around him feel so safe and valued, he really is one special boy/ young man.

Anyone have a time machine please? My kids are growing up too quickly!
