He Just Keeps Going, and Going....
I think I might have accidentally given birth to the Energizer Bunny. Oops.
I knew that once Jack really experienced walking, he'd like it and want to keep doing it, but I had no idea he would be so intense about it. He's running (well, walking) circles around me!
Today, it was lovely outside so out we went with his wagon. Instead of riding in it, Jack wanted to PUSH the wagon - all over the yard. And I am not exaggerating.
Up and down the driveway, through the grass and all around the perimeter of our backyard. And that's no small feat - We have almost an acre, and it's mostly backyard. I am telling you, this little guy was working hard! He pushed and pushed until he was sweating and I tried to get him to sit down and look at a book. He was having none of it - There was a wagon to be pushed!
He walked, pushing the wagon, without stopping for 45 minutes. Forty-five minutes! He was having so much fun that he wouldn't even stop to mug for the camera. He would merely smile in passing as he whizzed by. OK, so he wasn't actually whizzing, but he was going as fast as those chunky legs would take him!
I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of him. He even stood alone several times today as well. I know he can do it - and so does he. I am pretty sure that he is only still holding on to something for comfort's sake and I am betting that it will only be a short time before he just let's go and takes off. And then I'll really have my work cut out for me!
When Phillip came home from work, we went back outside again and Jack just wanted to push that wagon some more. Phillip could not believe the changes that had occurred in just one day! It really is mind-boggling, how quickly things progress at this age. Some changes have happened so slowly over this last year but others, like this, just happen. Boom. I just sit and watch in awe.
What a little miracle! Go, Jack, Go!
