Firsts

"He rolled over today!"

"Did you see, a tooth is slowly coming out!"

"She took him to the park and put him on the swing...he really enjoyed it!"

"He waved goodbye to the baby sitter!"

Many firsts that I have missed due to working full time. The last two occurred today and my heart actually broke a little when I heard about him on the swing.

I was taken aback. I didn't recall giving anyone permission to do that. I was supposed to take him to the park. I was supposed to record his first swing experience. That was my job. But instead of showing my disapproval, as I tend to clearly wear my emotions on my face, I just smiled, screamed and squealed for my baby boy. He responded with a beautiful smile and laughter.

And really, that  was all I needed to take away my heartache.
