There is something unforgettable about a child’s firsts.

The first smile. The first word. The first time they run into your arms. These moments arrive without warning, sometimes in the middle of an ordinary day, and suddenly, everything feels different.

It is wild how the smallest milestones can take up the biggest space in our hearts. The first night in their own bed. The first time they dress themselves. The first school bag on their back. You blink, and they are just… bigger.

That is what makes the firsts worth celebrating. Not just with photos or parties, but with presence. With slowing down for a moment to take it all in. Because before we know it, the firsts become lasts. And all that is left is the joy of having been there.
