Clapping

I've been teaching Maddie to clap over the last couple of weeks. She hadn't caught on by herself but she loved when I would take her hands and make them clap and say "yeah!!". Well, when I picked her up from daycare yesterday, she clapped when I walked in and sat on the floor with her. It looked like a little golf clap but it was the cutest thing! I was so proud of her!

It's these little things that you get to be witness to as a parent that no one else can really appreciate. Just thinking about the smile that came across her face and that little clap when she saw me coming.... sigh... hard to describe. I was practically in tears but incredibly happy at the same time.
