Dear Laney,
Three times today, you have been able to stand all by yourself - without so much as a pinky on the coffee table. In each case, though, you stood as long as you didn't realize you were standing without my help. As soon as you looked down and discovered you were balancing on your own, you got scared and plopped down.
This is just like in the old Wile E Coyote cartoons, when he would run off of a cliff in midair and be perfectly fine until he noticed there wasn't any ground beneath him. Then, he'd freefall into the gorge. You, on the other hand, have no gorge to be concerned with, only an 8 inch drop onto a padded diaper. But maybe to you, they seem like the same thing right now.
Peg Peg says we could kick this walking program into high gear if I'd be willing to stand two feet in front of you with a cheese plate.
Love,
Mom
