Little feet...Big dreams

As Harper has started walking I have started thinking.  I think of all the places those now little feet will take her.  I dream of all the miles they will do, the defeat they will have to bring her back up on and the amount of times they will be completely swept out from under her. She, at times, walks so timidly with short quick steps.  First testing her area and seeing if it's truly what she wants.  Other times she is more adventurous and giddy with her steps. She rushes and quickly realizes that it's a bit too soon for running on hard wood. But my favorite is when she "skates".  Floating across the floor in an attempt to be quicker than her granny walk but not as fast as Lolo Jones. When she skates she smiles endlessly and giggles at every imbalance or slip. A dare devil at heart but a true realist like her mom.  I pray that these tiny feet carry her through life in the same way they are now.  A little excitement, a little adventure and grounded in humble expectations.
