Guess What Triniti Did???

I called my Dad and asked him the title of today's post...as predicted, he got it right on the first guess. I then called my sister and asked her the same exact question. I was rather disappointed when she answered, "Bit someone?" I nearly choked and said, "Think positive about your niece...positive." haha So I pose the same question to you...guess what Triniti did today???

She took her first FOUR steps!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always gone through scenarios in my mind of how I would react/feel if Triniti hit a major milestone in her life under someone else's care. One of the most difficult things about going back to work when Triniti was five months old was that I would miss all of her "firsts." Several working-mother-friends of mine comforted me by saying that they didn't miss too many of their children's "firsts" just because they worked. Up until today, I don't think I have missed any of Triniti's firsts. So going back to the scenarios in my mind, I always predicted that I would take the news from someone else really hard. I completely surprised myself today when Trin's caretaker told me the news and instead of thinking, "Aww...I can't believe I missed it," I grabbed Trin out of Phyllis's arms, planted a huge kiss on Trin's cheek, and told her a gazillion times how proud I was of her. We also gave one another several high-fives.

So even though I have yet to see my daughter officially take steps, I told my Dad on the phone that I will be seeing her walk for years and years (and years) to come. I look forward to watching her become even more active. Watch out world...here she comes!!!
