So what kills me is this:

Frida actually chose TODAY – of all days – to start walking. Can you believe it???? I go away for one lousy day and then she walks??? Mads took Ronja to gymnastics class this afternoon, and while he and Frida were waiting outside the gym, Frida chose to start walking. BOOOHOOOOO…… *sniff*

But hey! She’s walking – and very enthusiastically too! And I’m her biggest fan – though Mads may try to claim that title as well! As you can guess, the picture doesn’t show Frida’s first step - this was after I returned home. However, this is Ronja’s first step – 3 years ago almost to the date.

Today our daughter took her first small steps in the world. It happened in the garden, and we were both there. She just got off the swing after Mads had been pushing her, and then – there she was, standing in the grass. I went over and said “Come here, Ronja”. And you guessed it – she walked towards me! WOW – that was great.

We actually had the camera there, and Mads got a few pictures – we’re almost never that lucky! As you can see in the picture, Ronja was wrapped up pretty good for the chilly autumn weather, but it’s her alright – and she’s walking. ;o)
