Baby Steps

Today when I was waiting to pick the girls up from school I let Fox out of his stroller to run around a little bit and enjoy the beautiful weather. Normally he sticks very close to me and, of course, doesn't go off the sidewalk. I've actually sort of enjoyed this because it's easy to keep tabs on him and I don't have to chase him too much. Well, today he took off for the grass, paused as he got just to the edge of it, smiled and ran right onto it - amazing! He ran all over the field and didn't seem bothered by it one bit.  I am so proud of my little man! I know that he has really been struggling with walking on different textures and I'm just so happy that he managed to work through something that made him uncomfortable. If you had seen him today you never would have known that it was something he was scared to do just days ago - I couldn't keep him off it. He still won't go near the mulch, but we're taking baby steps here and he is doing great!
