Two parents tell Martín what they felt the day he arrived and everything they will share together: the beach, the first bike, baking cookies, the snow and a night camping under the stars. It’s the full story from our book “You Will Always Be My Little One”, to read as a family with children aged 2 to 6.
It takes about 8 minutes to read aloud. If you’re short on time tonight, there’s a 2-minute version at the end.
From the moment we first held you, Martín, something changed inside of us.
You were so small and soft... and when your tiny hand closed around our fingers, everything else faded away.
In that quiet moment, our hearts learned a new way to love.
We leaned close and whispered: “Hello, Martín. We are your parents. From now on, we will love you every single day.”
Your first smiles became the light of our days. We watched you carefully, hoping to see you smile again.
And when you did, it felt like a soft spark that warmed our hearts.
Even the smallest smile from you, Martín, carried more love than we ever imagined possible.
One day you will grow, and your curiosity will open the door to so many wonderful moments.
We’ll discover new places, try things for the first time, laugh at silly things and cry tears of joy.
There’s a whole world waiting for us, and we’ll explore it together, step by step.
One day, we will go to the beach together and the waves will rush in to greet your feet.
You will run on the sand, laughing as the water chases you.
We’ll collect shells like little treasures. We’ll build sandcastles and feel the sun resting softly on our shoulders.
It will be a day full of joy and memories that our hearts will keep forever.
Martín, when the time comes, you’ll climb onto your little bike.
You’ll push off with your feet and wobble a little. You’ll stop... and try again with a big, bright smile.
Little by little, as you ride along, the world will open up before you.
With every try you’ll grow braver. With every pedal you’ll learn that not giving up pays off.
Someday, we will bake cookies together, and the kitchen will fill with the sweetest smells.
You will help pour the flour, stir the dough with your little hands and sneak a tiny taste when you think we are not looking.
We will wait by the oven, impatiently.
And when the cookies are warm and ready, we will enjoy them side by side, smiling and savoring every bite with a mmmm... of happiness.
One day, we will find ourselves in a snowy world and build a snowman together.
You will scoop up handfuls of soft snow, shaping them into a small round ball, while the flakes melt on your fingers.
And even if the cold makes our noses red, our hearts will be full of warmth and memories that stay with us long after the snow is gone.
In the quiet hours before sleep, we will build a cozy blanket tent together and turn the room into a magical place where great adventures will take place.
Inside this secret space, imagination will run free: we’ll read, play, laugh and, most importantly, we will enjoy simply being together.
Under the warm sun, we’ll step into the pool together. Our hands will hold yours at first, showing you how to kick and to float.
Little by little, you’ll start to move on your own, until swimming feels easy, until you feel confident.
And before we know it, we’ll spend the day floating, resting and enjoying the water side by side.
One day, we will travel far and discover new places.
We will walk through unfamiliar streets, listen to exotic languages and point at buildings that look nothing like home.
We’ll keep that moment as a special memory, knowing that wherever we go, what matters most is that we are together.
As you grow, the world will start to feel a little bigger, and school will become part of your days.
There you will meet new friends and discover so many new things.
Some days will feel easy. Others may feel a little harder. But each one will help you grow, step by step.
And through it all, Martín, you will know that we are here for you, cheering you on and loving you.
Hopefully one day, Martín, we’ll go camping.
We will set up the tent together and enjoy the stars as night falls.
You’ll hear new sounds, we’ll sleep surrounded by nature and you’ll admire how big and beautiful the world can be.
As the day comes to an end, you will snuggle into bed, wrapped in your blankets.
We will read your favorite story, until your eyes grow heavy and sleep slowly finds you.
We will kiss you goodnight and whisper sweet dreams, with all our love.
Soon, Martín, you’ll be braver, stronger and more independent than you are now.
You’ll follow your own dreams, walk your own path and create stories that will belong to you.
But no matter how many years go by, no matter how much you grow or how far life takes you, there’s something that will never change: we’ll be here, cheering you on and carrying you in our hearts, because you will always be our little one.
