The Booties Were Made For Walkin'
Alexander is about a minute away from walking and the ladies at daycare are under strict instructions NOT to tell me if he walks there first.
He has been cruising for months now. He can just trail a hand along a wall for support. He stands alone and lets go of everything and sways a bit before sitting down or grabbing hold. If he is going between handholds he will take a step or two unassisted. He will even let go and launch himself towards me if I am down on the floor. But he is not yet truly walking.
And today when I picked him up he was barefoot. Ms. Brenda told me she knows a secret that she isn’t telling. Part of me is proud that he is so advanced. Part of me knows that his first time walking at home will be just as exciting. Part of me is heartbroken.
