Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My ten month old grandson, just turned 10 mo yesterday, is determined to walk.  His parents sent a video of him pushing his crocodile clacking walker determinedly down the sidewalk, face serious, eyes forward, until a crack in the sidewalk caused his legs to get in plank position.  I'm sure he started all over again, big eyes on the path, going to tackle this body, get it in gear, and make it MOVE.  The intensity of young children is startling, because the scuttlebutt is they are easily distracted and have trouble focusing.  That is true sometimes, but more often I see the little bodies working the skill, working, working.  They are a lesson in try, try and try again until you can do it.  He's already rolled over, sat up, pulled himself up, held on to something and moved, and, the most important:  PUT HIS TOES IN HIS MOUTH.  I'd like to see any of us do that.  He's like a Cirque du Soleil baby.  I'd love to be that flexible again, but it ain't gonna happen.  But I admire it; I truly do.
