Reflecting on Suri's younger years in the piece, she wrote, "Taking time in Washington Square Park with a friend whose little child was taking his first steps brought me back to when my own child began to walk. I felt nostalgic and in awe of the power of time and the continuation of life."

For the duo, those special walks were saved for the discreet hours of the early morning. "I just wanted her outside, so I would walk her around to find parks at, like, 6 in the morning when nobody would see us," she stated. "But there's one video where I'm holding her—she was 2 at the time—and she starts waving at the cameras."

The precious glimpse inside their world is the cherry on top to an already special day.
