Firsts

As usual I can't keep up!
Have a "First" for each girl to report.

Last Thursday a little boy named Jack gave Cadence a flower on the playground... It was the tiniest little dandelion and it hasn't even really bloomed, so all the petals are still inside - but it is still the SWEETEST little flower I've ever seen. When I picked her up her teacher handed me the flower and told Cadence to tell me about it. (I thought that she was going to say that she picked it for me) So Cadence said, "This is MY flower... Jack gave it to me". I cried the whole way from pre-school to the sitter's just because it struck my heart. My little baby got a flower from a boy! Bittersweet. Let's just say that Daddy wasn't as weepy about it as I was... he said "Oh NO! It's way too early for that!"

Then... on Friday night, Tatum took her first steps (unassisted)... toward Dave!!!! Me, her Mumsie, and Pop-Pop have all been working with her for several weeks and Dave had not been in the living room for 2minutes when she just let go and walked to him! I am happy about it, I just wish she would have taken those first steps to me :).

My girles are just growing up way too fast!
