After the deluge

Before and after
I wish I had taken a before, during and after. I know that being a parent is tricky and rewarding, but I take my hat off to anyone who can remove the carseat covers for laundering and refit them without well, frankly, gin. I haven’t had any gin. But I think I deserve some now.
During - how many parts?
And here, after, looking vaguely like they did before. And as to why laundering - I think I need to recover from my inordinately high stress levels before I can tell that story.
