So what is a parent to do when their child refuses to walk? Mr. Braids will walk with your hands, but the minute you let go he loses all confidence and drops to his knees and back to his crawling ways. Its so silly, I give him no support whatsoever, but just knowing that I have his hands gives him the confidence to walk.
It reminds me of the concept of training wheels. You raise the training wheels up a peg, up a peg, up a peg, until the wheels no longer touch the ground. But it gives the child comfort, even though it makes no practical sense. We're his training wheels I guess!
Until today. Brady stood by himself, and than took 2 steps by himself. Than, realizing he did it himself, he drops to the ground real quick as if he was betrayed. Come on Braids! We know you can do it!

Todayover breakfast, Brady found his Cheerios alittle too exciting and totally fell asleep!
Who is this child? My little guy would never choose sleep over eating...
