walks of life

do you want to know what my little stinker did

while i was gone on vacation?

she. started. walking.

without me.

that turd.

before i left, she had to have a

push-toy or she would only take a step,

maybe two, before falling.

then the moment i walk out the door,

she does the same.

i tried to convince my parents to keep 

pushing her down when she would 

start walking, but instead they

counted her steps and sent me taunting

text messages while i was 12 hours away.

i hated life.

of course my kid would pick the 

seven days i'm out of state to start

doing the coolest thing.

of course i would miss it.

of course my parents don't video it.

of course.

but i really am excited.

this makes things so much easier.

she can go outside and play!

she can get her own stuff!

she can occupy herself for so much longer!

now excuse me, i'm off to go buy padding

and a helmet.

i'm pretty sure the next few months are going

to be spent running around trying to keep her from injury.
