Big Steps

This morning for the first time Fiona walked all the way to day care without riding in the stroller.

That's more of a psychological breakthrough than a physical one; Fiona's been able to walk home from day care for several months now. But she gets easily distracted, and it's difficult to corral her out the door some mornings, and I don't have the same type of time flexibility in the morning as I do in the evening, so we've fallen into a pattern of walking the first and last blocks and letting Daddy push the stroller during the blocks in between. But today Fiona was happy and focused and eager to get out the door, so we made it all the way.
