the day after
thanksgiving
vee
(with some prompting)
walked around
my parents house
by herself
for the first time.
then,
for some reason,
she went on strike.
if we let go of her
she would sit down.
so
we stopped
pushing her
and figured
she would
walk again
when she
wanted to...
shortly
before christmas
she started
taking
a few steps
on her own.
usually just
between
chairs
and tables
or other objects
close together.
on christmas
evening
as we attempted
to eat dinner
vee decided
to walk.
{sorry for the poor quality. it was very windy and dark}
her walking
entailed
going
into the kitchen
at the restaurant.
we were lucky
to be the only
ones eating
and they
were
very kind
to vee.
{socializing in the kitchen with the staff}
the waitress
even
took care of her
so we could
eat our dinner!
this time it stuck.
the next day
she was walking
all over
the apartment.
now she is
always on the go
and excited
about her
new found
freedom!
we have gotten
quickly use
to our
much more
mobile toddler
who now
needs
even more
careful
supervision!
