Elliott's First REAL Steps
We're hustling to put on coats and get out the door, and Elliott decided it was time to bravely venture out and take a couple steps on his own! Previously, it took a lot of cajoling, distracting, and otherwise tricking him into continuing to walk after letting go (a trick I've seen parents do with teaching a child to ride a bike.) He's been a little less willing than Jonah had been to use the corn popper or another push toy as a substitute for firm support - although a hammer in his hand is almost as good. So it was a welcome change to see his little head decide to let go and walk from me to Daddy!
