Little Steps

Dear Gavin,

Thank you for bringing so much joy in our lives.  

Your always give us the biggest smile that makes our hearts melt.

There are times like today that I want to freeze the moment and capture your infectious laughter, your big bright twinkling eyes and your face of amazement in discovering new things. 

I know that soon, there will be many new things in your life, but I will always remember the simple things you and I shared for the first time.

You walked on sand yesterday and your chubby little feet had he greatest time feeling the sand on your toes.  You even climb the tree next to where you were standing without any fear or hesitation.  

You also spent Sunday afternoon swimming in the pool.  You somehow discovered the wet rocks on the wall and kept on touching it with your bare hands and feet.  They told me that you might hurt your skin when you keep on touching it, but I just let you be.  It's always a great day when you discover new textures, new experiences ... and sometimes, getting hurt is part of package. 

Tonight, you walked and walked and walked on the grass on your socks until the socks came off already.  You loved the grass on your feet.  You fell A LOT of times, but you just kept on standing up and getting right back on doing your business of walking.  

I was amazed to see your joy whenever you found yourself walking without any help and assistance.  Everytime you took a step or two alone, you flashed us the biggest smile across the field.  

Super Saya Gavin!!! I'm so proud of you today :) 

You didn't let anyone get in your way, you just tried and tried, got up from falling again and again and found yourself walking 4-5 more steps alone.  Hard work always pays off, anak! 

Weekends are all the more special because of you XXX
