I remember some people not being sure if they should congratulate us when he was born because obviously it's a bit uncertain.
And I would say it was more touch and go with my second.
Kit was born a week earlier, but he was only two pounds six.
He was a much smaller baby.
And he had more issues and he had to go on a ventilator and it was a lot more full on.
With Sonny, he did kind of go as expected.
So we did bring him home when they told us we might hope to have him home.
I think there's a lot of positives that come out of having a big age range because my nearly 22-year-old, the little man in that picture, I mean, I'm so fortunate.
I always say to him, if you hadn't been so great, I wouldn't have had so many more because he just was such a good little first ambassador of what family life could promise.
And, yeah, he's been a really...
great big brother to them and he he's especially good for like my 13 year old and him have a really good relationship and go to gigs together and spend a lot of time together so I think you know what it's like when you're growing up you you you might you know your parents would listen to you about stuff but they're not necessarily who you want to speak to all the time so I I've learned to step back and let listen in on how they discuss things and
You know, sometimes they're acting a bit daft, but sometimes they're saying things I think are really wise.
And I think they listen to each other in a way they wouldn't necessarily with their peers or their parents.
I've kept everything that I really liked.
And actually, it's gone on again to another person.
So my sister Martha had my niece, Alba, who's coming up to her first birthday.
So yeah, I'm absolutely all for keeping it rolling.
And we've got a cardigan in the family that's gone down through...
My brother, my sister, all five of mine and now is born by Alba.
So that's, yeah, and it's, what's that?
