A light bulb moment!

We have had a wonderful day today and I wanted to share it, but then I thought why would you be interested in the following: She got in the very cold swimming pool and swam, also she has played tennis with a group of spanish children all speaking Spanish and no English for one hour. This is only interesting to me as her mother. So it made me realise why I get so excited about things she does and why I want to share them. It is not because I think she is any better than any other child or more capable, it is just that that moment is so precious to me as a mother. Do you remember the first time your child walked or talked, were you there? This is the same, instead of her being at school and the teachers seeing the firsts of everything, I get to be there and see her firsts!

For the moment I want to be there for as much as I can when she does things, so that I can be part of that memory, sooner or later she won't want me there any more, so I am going to grab those moments whilst I can.
