Advice for Remy, Day 1. So last year I set myself an Instagram challenge, posting a photo and update every day of the year. As someone who aspires to write for a living (one day, you never know) it gave me a great opportunity to put some words down each day and get some valuable practice in. As a neat by-product, it's also served as a fabulous diary of the year for us, which will be great to look back on in the future (especially for a record of Remy's first 8 months on this planet). So I wanted to carry on this year but with a slightly new direction. Every parent wants to pass on their 'wisdom' (inverted commas fully justified) to their children, so I thought I'd try and come up with a years-worth of advice for Remy to muse over when he's older. He may choose to ignore it, he may disagree, and many other people may too, but I know that if my dad had done the same for me, I'd love having it to read through from time to time. So I guess this is my first piece of advice for Remy. Number one - don't start year-long challenges on social media unless you intend to see them through. Only time will tell whether I heed this advice.
