Simple Gifts for Little Girls

There will come a time when you would hope that you could stop the hands of time. I always feel this way whenever I think of how my kids are growing up so fast, especially my youngest daughter. There are certain occasions in which I really feel that she’s no longer a baby, and that she is growing up so fast and sometimes I can hardly keep up with her. One such occasion in which I felt this way was when she had her first communion. Although it was such an eventful occasion for the family, somehow I still felt sad especially when I saw her wearing her all-white dress. She looked so grown-up!

I was just so grateful for my daughter’s school for conducting the ceremony in the most solemn way. The school had prepared them well for the occasion and made sure that the kids knew what to do during the ceremony. Weeks of rehearsals were spent to prepare the kids for the occasion. My daughter was very excited and she was able to memorize the songs in no time at all. She also knew that the occasion was a solemn one so she prepared herself by being aware of all the details of the ceremony. And during the ceremony, all the kids were really well-behaved and really respected the ceremony.

Of course, as in every special occasion in our family, I always make it a point that I give my kids little gifts to make the occasion more memorable for them. For the girls communion, bracelets with heart charms were just perfect for the occasion. My youngest daughter who is really fond of wearing bracelets simply loved it, in fact, until now, she still has it with her. I also gave each of my kids a prayer book and a rosary. I’m sure every parent would also love to make sure that their kids have something to keep in their hearts to help them remember this kind of special occasion, or any occasion for that matter.
