Welcome babes

Pro tip for the cgs: Tell your little they should start cleaning up ten minutes before they actually should. That way you have enough time for the discussion and whining that are about to happen and, if you want to, you also have the time to give in and tell them they can play for five more minutes

Baby!! You can't just declare a surprise tickle fight!! That's not fair!! ... okay, yes, l admit l sometimes do it too, but that's different. What do you mean why? It's simply because I'm Mommy and you're my little one. There's different rules for me. Speaking of which, l declare a tickle fight!

Okay okay sweetheart, your said you wanted to help me with a few household chores, right? I thought we could try cooking together today! Now, l don't want it to be too hard for my little baby, so your main job will be taking the things l chopped, putting them into a pot and making sure nothing burns. Do you think you can do that or are you too small right now?

Hey baby, it's bath time!! Look, l already prepared everything for you, you just have to slip into the tub. I've chosen a bubble bath this time, is that alright? There is no colourful water but it smells really good. And I have of course gotten your bath toys ready so you don't get bored too fast! I hope you'll have fun. And your big fluffy towel is right here for when you're done

I just want to come home with you after a long day of playing in the snow, make us hot chocolate and cuddle with all your stuffies underneath a pile of blankets until we're warmed up again

I hope you know you're the sweetest, most amazing little baby any caregiver could wish for!! Yes, even if you're bratty sometimes and yes, even if you try to get away with breaking the rules. Yes, even when you're not feeling particularly small for a while. You're just all around adorable, always, no matter what

Look what your stuffies and l prepared for you, little one!! I knew you'd be getting home after me today and l thought it'd be a great idea to set up a tea party for all of us! Now, please take your seat, l will be getting our snacks from the kitchen shortly. Would you like to serve the tea or should l?

Could you kneel for me, darling? I think you'd look so beautiful. I know, it feels a little silly and a little like you're on display, but it'd mean a lot to me if you'd try. Yes, just like that! Now, bow your head, please? Back stays straight. You're doing so well for me! Thank you, that's even better than l hoped

You don't mind if l make you feel small right? If l tell you you're my sweet baby? My little darling? If l get you your stuffies, or maybe even a paci? Roll you up in a blankie? Give you a ton of kisses? Prepare your favourite foods for you? Is that alright for you, love?

Sweetie, what were you doing back there? I feel like l saw you sneak around in the kitchen? My good little baby wouldn't dare to get themselves sweets without asking for permission... right? And you are my good little baby?

It's adorable when you're out and about with your darling and you can sense them slipping into little space!! Maybe they hold your hand tighter, or there's more spring in their step, or they look at everything with wonder in their eyes, or they start giggling. And you get to let them be carefree and small and will probably get begged that they just need that stuffie. Or that toy. Or whatever it is that made them slip in the first place
