I saw you when you took your first steps.
When you first talked, When you first blew the
Candle on your first birthday cake.
When you first said ‘papa’ and not ‘mama’.
I saw you when you made your first mistake.
I was there to help you fix it and saw you grow.
When your first tooth broke, and you saved it for the tooth fairy.
I remember all your stage performances and preschool graduation.
I saw all your first milestones.
I still remember all the milestones of both my girls. My elder one started walking when she was one year old and before that she used to only walk with holding my hand from the right side. If I change sides she won’t walk at all. On the other hand, my younger one started walking in 9 months itself and she was always more interested in moving around.
It’s not only the about the first year but milestones go on till they grow big. My younger one just went to her first overnight trip with school and we were little hesitant to send her but she was really excited to go. As much as we missed her and kept on thinking about her, I am glad that she managed everything on her own as it was her first time without her family.
I am sure all moms have those sweet memories of their kids from their childhood. The first step, first word, first fall, first birthday, first win, first dance etc. Sometimes small milestones are more cherished ones than the bigger ones.

We never tend to miss the milestones of our children Deepa. I too remember the exciting moments we had when my children were attaining their first milestones. In fact the excitement s growing with them.

My daughter hasn’t started walking yet.She still holds my hand to walks. It’s been only a year but I know what you mean. When she learnt to crawl suddenly or sit, I just can’t believe how quickly she is changing in front of our eyes.

I do too. Absolutely love these precious moments. These are very important to us as a family too. Be it their development milestones or their special achievements. It is so much fun reliving those moments with the kids later when we go through the photos at a later date.

It seems like a distant past now. I cant even recall whether it was the left hand or right hand. I think its time to revisit the memory lane and post some pictures.
