(A true-life Calvin & Hobbes moment…)
Hey, what’s that sound in the kitchen? It sounds like potatoes …
Mommy! Daddy! I’ve rescued the garbage bags!
See?!?
Daddy, what are you doing?!?
Well, OK, but I think they look better on the floor! That does it, I’m outta here!
I simply cannot be seen with you!
That’s Two Small Steps for Kid, One Giant Leap for Kidkind…
OK. We have our first observed sighting of Aidan taking independent, free-standing steps. Two of them, left-foot, right-foot. I bet he didn’t notice.
I sure did. Sadly Momma didn’t but I’m sure this is the beginning of the end.
Not much to say. It happened yesterday, after I got home from work. He wanted to get from the couch to the entertainment system, and instead of plopping down and crawling the short distance, he let go of the couch, *walked* the two steps, and then held on to the glass door of the entertainment system. I doubt he thought about it.
Clearly this is an indication, though, that he *can* walk, when he choses to do so.
It hasn’t happened again, but we’re keeping the video camera charged just in case.

In Aidan’s world, there is nothing more terrifying than this:
Seriously.
Milk, mmm . . . Do you want some?
Aidan: “Yumm I Love Milk!”
Dianthe: “I am very uncomfortable with this situation.”
Dianthe: “Well, at least he isn’t moving.”
Dianthe: “OK, I guess I can relax.”
Aidan: “Oh, Dianthe is right beside me.”
Aidan: “Do you want some milk?”
Aidan: “How about a pat?”
Aidan: “I guess not.”
Aidan: “How about you Daddy?”
