From the time of inception are little ones are experiencing firsts. Our little ones are typically very interested in exploration and it is in our very being to try new things. Our little ones experience their first human touches and their first cry shortly after birth. They experience being poked, prodded and pampered right in the delivery room. They even experience their first hugs and kisses without delay. Life to them are full of firsts as they have never experienced life before.

We too though experience firsts right along with them. We experience pregnancy, contractions, delivery, the first cry of our little ones, the first diaper to change and more. We have anticipations of how our little one will grow to experience their firsts but at the same time we forget that we experience those first with them.

We experience the baby's first words of Ma Ma and Da Da and our hearts leap with abundant joy and gratefulness. We have experienced our firsts as well as them and we are more excited than they are. Our excitement for that first word, that first crawl, that first step, etc is what causes that little one to want to try that first a second, third and fourth time until they've perfected it.

It is really amazing at how their firsts, lead to our firsts and then our excitement for that first leads to more of the same from the little one. We should be careful that if a first isn't something we want our little to be doing to not show them excitement since it is that very excitement that will give them the go ahead to try it again. Enjoy those firsts with your little ones as I have enjoyed them with mine.
