Dear Max,

I was teasing you with a beach ball while you were standing next to mommy. The next thing I know you took your first 4 steps to me, by yourself on your own two feet. Ma and I sat there in awe of you. We cheered and clapped while you laughed, visibly proud of yourself.

You wanted to get to that beach ball so bad that you would do anything, even take your first few steps. That little bit of determination you showed today is so valuable as you grow older. You can do anything you want to, as long as you want it bad enough.

4 steps. 3 smiling faces. 2 proud parents. 1 amazing little boy.

Love,

Daddy
