We've tried all of the tricks, bought new shoes, bought fancy push toys and begged and begged, but she is for sure on her own time. Miss L. will walk anywhere, anytime as long as she has something to push or a finger to hold onto. She just needs the confidence to do it on her own.
Our efforts to teach her to walk remind me of the Trace Adkins song, 'You're Gonna Miss This.'
So, while I think it will be wonderful to get back into the office and have my baby in school with other children her age, it is bittersweet.
Sometimes I want her to hurry up, but maybe her taking her time walking isn't so bad. These are moments that we will never get back and one thing is for sure...at the end of the day, I lay my head down thinking how I can make her life happy and fulfilling. And I know it is by letting her do things in her own time and not rushing her moments away.
