The First Time

Don Swift and his daughter Harper watching the rain.

Every human being goes through the first time experience. Our firsts start when we're infants and everything is brand new. This world can be a place of all types of curiosities for a first-timer. Then, as we get older, we personally experience fewer first times.

Some older folks have a bucket list - of those things they want to do at least once in life. But I very much doubt that babies have those lists. It's parents and grandparents who lead these life novices in exploration of this wonderful world. And the first times of these littlest ones can bring these first time wonders back into the lives of their adult companions.



Take baby Harper Swift, for instance. She'd already seen the rain from a safe spot inside the house. She'd not yet been outside to feel the drops on her face and little hands. So, one rainy day this summer, daddy Don introduced her to the experience, up close and personal. He also filmed the experience to share with the online world.

Don takes his little daughter in his arms and dashes outside, then back in, to the delight of his little daughter's screams of joy. Daddy as much as makes the joy in the experience, as he smiles and encourages his young one, in a very playful way. Then he shares the delight with her in words.

When daddy puts Harper down on the ground, she wants to take her own excursion, but he gently takes her hand and guides her out and back in again. It's a daddy and daughter moment, a first time shared, a moment of happiness that we can experience with this wonderful twosome. It's a dad being a dad, showing his daughter the wonders of this world of ours.
