Nearly there! Almost! Sort Of!
Two metres Reuben walked all on his own today.
TWO WHOLE METRES!!!!
This is monumental for us (well, mainly Reuben, I guess!) considering we have, at 14 months of age, put walking into that “too hard/can’t be bothered” box.
We were thinking that shoes were never going to be needed for this kid.
That his poor knees were always going to be callused from crawling on all hard and rough surfaces with no regard for his raw, skinned knees.
And walking into his first day at school? Naaaa. Why walk when you can just crawl everywhere???!!!
But he is as stubborn as he is cute, and will do things in his own time, on his own terms. Seems to be that now is a great time to start walking!
The timing is almost perfect, just before #3 is about to arrive… A little more practice time would have been useful, but we will take what we can get!!!
Luckily, Reuben has an extremely patient Big Brother who is willing to hold his hand and walk slowly with him before he decides to run :)
Can i trade you some of Owen’s Patience for a Coupla Coop’s Teeth? He needs patience more than all those teeth!………………….. hhhhhmmmmmmmm… Owen may just have to teach his cousin!
