When the year started, these youngest two hadn't even arrived yet. How do you measure a year? Perhaps no better way than the start of new lives. So, 2011 will always be the start point for Sophia and Oliver.
Human babies have enormous curiosity about each other, and a lot of innate gentleness and kindness. Of course, they have other traits as well, some less benign.
But good parents strive to bring out the good parts, and these two little ones have very good parents.
During this century as it unfolds, I can feel confident the world will be a better place with them in it.
At the other end of the age spectrum, rather than waking up to a new world, one can feel the shadows approaching that presage shutting down, hopefully gradually, but stages of life, once they settle in, are unmistakeable.
The past year a lot has changed, some for the worse, some for the better.
But these two little arrivals are among the very best 2011 has had to offer.
