You Never Forget Your First Mother’s Day

I had less than 48 hours of parenthood under my belt when the holiday arrived

this baby can now ride a two-wheeler with no training wheels.

My newborn son’s first full day at home was also my first Mother’s Day. He’d been born two days prior, so the holiday came before his first weigh-in, before I figured out which of my old camp songs would soothe him, before my milk came in, before I healed from giving birth, and before his umbilical cord stub came off.
