What do you do when you're a little man, and you're in Mommy's lap all cozy and hanging out...but then Daddy comes into the living room and sits on the couch?
And then Daddy picks up his video game controller, and you think you'd really like to go sit with Daddy, so you hold your hands out to him, but he doesn't come and pick you up?
And so you stand up, and you do a little bounce to distract him, but he still doesn't come and pick you up?
So you stand for a moment longer, then you move one chubby little foot forward, then another, then again...
And soon you're so close that you can let out a giggle and lunge at Daddy, who catches you--because that's what daddies do, after all. And then you decide to head back to Mommy...then back to Daddy, and back to Mommy...and everyone is laughing and clapping.
The whole world looks different when you're walking. Its a whole new way to explore.
And life is good.
