walk like a man

Kenny is this close to walking on his own. He's gotten comfortable enough to totter along while hanging onto your hands/fingers, often by just holding onto one hand/finger. He gets a fair amount of practice with his walker wagon, cruising up and down the driveway, or cutting tight turns in the living room.



At daycare they have a neat trick where, instead of holding Kenny's hand, they use a bright rag or towel. Kenny grabs one end, and the daycare provider holds the other end. Kenny can lead the way, and gets to feel like he's in control (which, to be honest, he is).




The little boy can walk, he's just hesitant to make the conscious effort to do so. Right now, crawling is still highly effective (and speedy), but he's gonna start stumbling around on his own like a drunken sailor any day now.

We don't want to pressure him, but we are trying to encourage him to start casing the joint. Next up, repeated viewings of the opening sequence from "Saturday Night Fever."
