Here is our little doll on her very first birthday. She was tentative, then enthusiastic as she poked at her chocolate birthday cake. Ian was of great assistance (candle blowing, present unwrapping...) and I think wishes his own birthday was a little sooner!
It is so rewarding as a parent to experience my kids’ “firsts” with them. Somehow we seem to loose our enthusiasm over the little things in adulthood, and it is truly magical to observe and participate in the experiences of my own children!!
