So last Friday right, Connor came in to say Good Morning to Monique, and while he was in the bedroom he got up on his hands and feet and stood up unaided. Later that day he started to walk, while I was at work, but at least Mon was there to see it., it’s always heart breaking when kids do their first of something at day care (unless it’s their first projectile vomit!!) Once he started there was no stopping him. Mon rang and told me and a little while before I was due home she primed him with a practice run, and had to pin him down to stop him wearing himself out. All set in the hallway for me to come through the door, and he nearly took off again before I got up the front steps.

He’s been walking around all weekend since and all today, chasing Ash and improving in confidence all the time. He’s also found out that if he wants to steal something and play with/eat/grind it into the carpet, he’s no longer bound to the scene of the crime, cos when you are walking your hands are free to carry your booty away with you. He’s a clever lad.
