First steps, first words, first day of school. You may be working at home because you don t want to miss out on any of those important firsts. But don t forget about the lasts. We can t be as aware of the lasts in our children s lives, because we usually don't realize they ve occurred until much later. But the memories can be just as precious.
Some lasts are easy to remember.
Like the last time I carried my sleeping daughter in from the car. The other evening my little girl ran into the house, out of breath. I ran out into the driveway just as our neighbors were coming out of their house too. Both girls had run inside to fetch their moms. Such excitement is usually reserved for the ice cream man.
