the first steps

'the first "two" steps' is more apt i think. and yes indeed, just two.

this afternoon, i just started to get bored cruising and crawling and thought that it would get me faster to that toy, that was about two feet away from me, if i'd walk by myself. and walk, i did! i took two heedless and unmeasured but brave steps, little ones but really fast, that made me dive on my third step.

did it hurt?! nah! i even tried to do it again. and i still fell, face down, on the third step. this won't stop me though from doing it again and again until i perfect the skill. i get a lot of encouragement from my parents too so i know i can do it, someday. my parents will surely be happy once i start walking on my own!
