early saturday morningida is walking. she started last week at moms "fakey" birthday party on sunday. even though she can walk this week she used her sweet crawling skills to get around and motor along. the last 2 days however, HOLD THE PHONE - WAIT A SECOND, I CAN WALK!
here is the great thing about it, she is slow as molasses. she picks something up and then begins the trek. it is awesome. her legs are wide, she takes slow, deliberate steps, one foot then the other, sometimes not even going forward, just catching up to the other foot. while i was watching her today the meaning and vision of "baby steps" dawned on me. think about life in general. starting a new jobs, classes at school, making friends, marriage, becoming a parent, building your testimony, self development.... so many "baby steps" are required. sometimes life drudges along slowly, barely moving, one step/lesson at a time. i am sure as ida continues to practice she will get better, stronger, faster. she will develop smoother movements, become sturdier, surer. kind of how life is as well. thinking about this, i told myself, "don't bypass/downplay the baby steps. cherish them. embrace them. learn from them."
will do, will do. thanks for the visual ida girl. xoxo
