"TINY"

You took your first 'tiny' steps when you were just 11 months old!
So, after you had got the hang of the walking thing I bought you some 'tiny' red and blue sneakers which were just right for those tentative wobbles.

And that's when you stopped walking and went back to crawling again!

I just thought you were being lazy as, occasionally, you would stand up and attempt a few more steps.
Then, one day, I took you and Sian to visit my Nan who would have been about 80 at the time. Nan always seemed to favour boys more than girls and called for you to sit on her knee for a cuddle. But, as you climbed up into her lap your little shoe fell off.  Nan reached down to pick it up and let out an exclamation of pain as she stabbed her finger with a 'tiny' staple which was protruding on the inside of your shoe!
No wonder you had given up the walking caper!
Mother-of-the-year? Me!!
