As a mother, you cherish your child's "firsts".
That first smile, giggle, and coo. Their first word and when they dive into your face to give you an open mouth kiss for the first time. The first time they roll over, crawl, and the first step. The first time they make it through an entire Disney movie, the first time they lose a tooth and ride a bike.
Reading their first book, first time writing a thank you letter, and making their bed by themselves.
Reliving the first time Nathan got to go through the temple will be a moment I will cherish forever. Seeing his dad being able to baptize him for the dead was such a sweet tender experience.
Firsts are magical. You will never have that moment again. They stick in your head enveloped with an amazing permanent feeling every time you go back to that moment.
Witnessing "firsts" are gifts in the most precious form.
