One thing I really love about having a daughter is doing all the things I love to do, what I loved to do as a kid or what I missed out on doing as a kid. This is definitely what I would call living vicariously.
The weekends become a succession of first time adventures like:
- First time on the sand in Wamberal
- First visit to Sydney Aquarium
- First museum visit
- First visit to Luna Park
- First trip to Taronga Zoo
- First ferry trip
- First birthday
- First ride on a Ferris wheel
- First movie
- First circus
- First bushwalk
- First Halloween
- First ballet at the Opera House
- First Chinese New Year
- First sushi train
- First award for dancing
- First big girls ride at Sea World
- First scooter ride
- First Vivid night lights
- First visit to the dentist
The possibilities are almost endless and I honestly don’t know who is enjoying themselves more. Of course there will be less firsts as time goes on and there will be a time when my daughter won’t want me to be a part of her firsts, but I am enjoying the special moments while I can and looking forward to different sorts of first in the future.
What are your favourite firsts with your little ones? What should I add to my list? Would you like to share a story of one of your firsts? Email me on roshan@roshansramblings.com
