My youngest grand-daughter, one year and two weeks old, is just beginning to take her first step.
What a thrill, to watch her struggling to keep balance, wobbling about and quickly dropping to the
floor.  I shouted with joy and clapped my hands and she just smiled.  Obviously to be able to take
the first step is a big effort and to me, a magnificent achievement.  It's a miracle.  What a sight to
behold.  I am sure all parents will be excited at the sight of their baby tentatively taking the first
step.  We are all waiting anxiously for the next two to three weeks when she'll be able to take
more and more steps - that would be the most exciting development in a child's life.
