Stages of walking

We have a stubborn one on our hands. Little man has the ability but not the desire to walk. As mentioned before, he does a great job with his push toy but hasn’t progressed much over the last two months. He’ll stand next to furniture and slide along a little bit but won’t venture away from a support. We’ve tried to walk with him but oftentimes we get the following response - see video.

But wait. About 10 minutes after this video, Little Man started to do this -


(Miles & I were in the middle of a game of Candy Land so that explains some of the background conversation).

This kid seems wants to do things on his own terms and at his own pace. At least he’s very dedicated and keeps trying. This video only captures a portion of his attempts; he probably did this for about 20 minutes. Hopefully he’s just as determined and persistent about learning other things in life.
