Off She Goes

Nothing is more exciting than seeing a baby take her first steps. I saw my grand niece over the weekend and she just turned one. She has taken a few steps, here and there but she is not walking consistently. Her parents were away for the weekend and we had her all to ourselves. As much as we tried, she would not take more than four steps. When her parents came home she was so happy to see them. Each of them sat on the floor on the opposite end of the room and put her in the middle. All of a sudden she went running to her mother and then reversed and went running to her father. She walked the full length of the room each time. We were mesmerized by the "best show on earth".
