Tell us the parenting “first” you’ll never forget - Chance to win shoes for a year with Clarks

[CeriMumsnet]

One minute they’re tiny, the next they’re racing ahead of you in shoes that suddenly fit. We want to hear about the firsts you still remember - the ones that made you proud, teary, or laugh long after.

Maybe it was the first proper steps across the lounge, the first determined attempt at getting dressed on their own, that emotional nursery drop-off, or the moment they insisted on choosing their own shoes and completely rejected the pair you picked.

Big moment or small, sentimental or chaotic - we’d love the story. Everyone who shares the 'first' that still gets them by 21 March will be entered into a prize draw to win free Clarks shoes for a year (up to four pairs). T&Cs

The first time they grip your finger with their hand. Lovely.

I’ll never forget the first time my little one put on their shoes all by themselves and marched out the door like they owned the world – proud, determined, and completely refusing the ones I’d picked!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this discussion on parenting firsts - so many lovely family memories ❤Congratulations to @buckleycat1983 who's the winner of Clarks shoes for a year!
