It really has a nice line. Cool one.
Good first start. I know these branches can have very loose connections to the trunk. Buuuut.. Ideally you want to change the angle of connection, rather than loop them down over several inches. Here people often refer to branches like this as "pissing bows". Gently see whether theseallow you to widen the angle to the trunk. This might be too late already. I normally place a small branch between the young sprout and trunk to urge the branch away when still in the single leaf stage.Wires down some branches

A deer got to it. I know they’re one-flush, but I really hope I get another flush of leaves. Emergency flush? Is that a thing?

you were all right. She decided to live. Maybe some wire is due? Or is this the wrong time?
That watering station looks familiar. It is possible we were at the same location and didn't know it.
