First Steps
"Shem!" I called out.
I was playing with the twins when all of a sudden Adah stood up. She used my leg to get up and just when I thought she would just fall back down she confidently took a few steps. I gaped at her in amazement for a few seconds before I called for Shem. He ran into the sitting room and stopped short when he noticed Adah. Once she noticed him she stumbled over to him and fell at his feet.
"Da!" She exclaimed.
He picked her up and tossed her in the air. I ran over to them and smothered her in kisses. Evi crawled over to us and looked around, trying to figuring out what was going on.
"You took your first steps Adah!" I told her excitedly. "Shem go tell Naameh."
"Can we enjoy this, just the four of us?" He asked me.
I nodded and picked Evi up. As soon as she was up she shimmied to get out of my arms. Shem and I put the twins down and went to sit down.
It was a few weeks later that I walked outside to hand Shem some water that I found Evi walking over to a patch of flowers. I kept walking until I realized exactly what I had just seen. I ran over to Evi and lifted her up.
"I am so proud of you Evi!" I told her. "I am so proud of you."
I took her over to Shem and had her walk a few steps for him. She was so happy about the attention. We got Adah from the house and walked over to fire pit where Mother and Father were. They spent most of their time teaching Japheth about the ways of the world as well as creating concoctions from various herbs. When we got to them we had Evi walk over to Mother and everyone applauded her.
