The clocks have gone back by an hour. On this day each year, non-parents get a joyous extra hour in bed. Parents, though … parents spend the night before dreading the prospect of a wide-awake toddler an hour earlier than usual. 0530, say.
So full marks and a gold star to our little man, who stayed snuggled in bed for an extra two hours this morning – giving not just himself, but Mummy and Daddy too, a much-appreciated bonus lie-in.
