Baby's first birthday celebration

Updated: Jan 19

When a child senses "belonging"

When children find photos of them being little, they feel special. Children love to look back at memories of themselves in albums, prints, wall arts and even when they find out their loved ones carry and treasure a wallet size print of them in their daily personal items, such as wallets and purses. These small discoveries can make children feel part of their group and family, as well as a wonderful sense of belonging.

A child is not to be compared to others, the same way there is no comparison between the sun and moon. They shine when it is their time.
