Baby steps
I’ll always remember the day he took his first steps.
Correction – the day he took his first real steps. The week or so after he turned one, there were a couple fumbling half-steps here and there and while my eyes went wide, I knew they were accidental.
The first real steps were the ones where he was fully aware of what he was doing, that he was here and wanted to go there and gosh darn it, he was gonna hoof it. As it happened, it was his six-year-old cousin’s birthday party and everyone was there. He had his entire family around him cheering him on.
I’ll always remember it, but of course, we didn’t quite capture that exact moment on video. And every day since, as I’ve watched him gain more and more confidence, my heart is too busy swelling and my eyes too busy glowing with delight to remember to pull out the camera.
I finally had the sense to do it today, and not a moment too soon. He won’t be toddling about so unsteadily for long.
It’s so beautiful, so adorable. And yes, so bittersweet too. Who is this little boy and where’s my wee babe? And why is he walking away from me so soon?
