STEP? YES!, STEP? NO!
One of the most anticipated growths
that we are looking from
Coco
is his first
unaided step. And I was lucky to be able
to witness that last Friday (sept. 14). Out of the blue, he just walked in
front of me, unaided. I immediately grabbed the video cam but I was too late.
Hoping to see him again walk and show it to her Mom, I set the camera but to no
avail. He didn’t do it again. I could only best verbally described it to Jaz in
the car on our way home.
The first step is always the Coco can climb the stairs. He was
biggest step. It marked the beginning of his independence and our new
nightmare. Parents are always anxious to see their babies first step. You can
explain the joy once it happens. But coupled with that first-step-joy is the added
worry of shadowing him more closely. (Just
this afternoon, while I was bringing something back in the garage, I found out
how fast
already upstairs when I caught him. Apparently, he was following his kuya. And that
is scary considering how high our staircase is.)
That becomes scarier because as
of this writing, Jaz didn’t know that.
This afternoon though, he made a
couple of more steps and I am guessing, he could be walking perfectly before
his first birthday comes.
Indeed, more steps come more
responsibility. And I cannot afford to be complacent, nor sleepy. Considering
Coco
’s boldness, compared to his Kuya, I cannot afford
another mistake.
Step? yes, but sometimes you wish it’s not a misstep.
