Standing
Cecily stood for several minutes at a time today. I was busy preparing her dinner and she was standing next to her little scooter beeping the horn. She was clearly balancing herself - as opposed to leaning on the scooter - but it didn;t really register.
That is, until she clapped. She has an endearing habit of applauding when she does something she is proud of or is especially excited. The fact that she did so without a second thought and without any special effort to keep her balance drove home just how close she is to actually walking on her own.
Any day now…
