really! and not only that, he walks ON COMMAND! i came home yesterday and sat down with the dragon. benG on my laps, the sun is smiling through the glass door - finally again! collin is at the other end of the living room, coming crawling fast towards us... but what is that? he is given commands: "stop, collin!" - he stops. "on your feet!" - he gets up - seemingly effortless. "walk to me, come!" friendly-determined tone, leaving no room for interpretation. i dont trust my very own eyes: collin is walking, holds his balance, sets his feet to the rhythmic counting "one, two, three, ..." ten steps, before he lets himself fall, with this huge happy-proud smile in his tiny rascal face! i pretty darn nearly dropped benG right on the floor and equally darn nearly busted my chest with pride! my son! :)
