Amazing Quote by Adrian Lester
“I remember my eldest daughter pulling herself up on the sofa and using it as a balance point. I was calling to her across the living room. She looked at me and wanted to come to me and she looked at the floor and was scared she might not make it, but then she toddled quickly across and fell into my arms. It was amazing. The look on her face!”
