First

Dear Adeline,

Today I gave you your first bath. And thus began the series of firsts that you will experience over your lifetime. First steps, first day of school, first kiss, first heartbreak. If your first bath is any indicator of how future firsts will go, there will be uncertainty, confusion, acclimation, quiet enjoyment, then lots of noise, a nap following, and someone there to guide you through all of it. Your father, brother, and I are lucky to be your guides for these first firsts. We'll be here for the later ones if you need us too.

Love,

Mama
This is the life.
