Milestone cards seem to be quite popular these days, even on this blog, and it’s not surprising seen as they are cute and help to keep a record of all the traditional milestones. There are some that they missed though – the real milestones. These are the ones that every parent gets to experience, but wouldn’t necessarily make for the best photos.

• My first volcano poo (the one the spurts out the back of the nappy and up their back)
• My first projectile vomit (typically aimed at a parent)
• The first time daddy dropped me
• My first visit to the hospital (after daddy dropped me)
• My first medicine (and how I spat it out)
• My first suppository
• My first time with the nebuliser
• ….and the list goes on
