Aww I'm sorry

About the steps and the job!! But that is super exciting for her, she'll be walking for you in no time!
I had something not so big, but kinda similar happen. my ILs kindly watched the kids overnight last weekend, and then took them to a little carnival on Sunday. Apparently there was a ride that was small enough for Isla so she went on her first carnival ride without us there

I was hoping her first rides would be in Disney with us for her birthday celebration. So I hear ya, it hurts whenever they do something exciting for the first time without you there!
