Yesterday Megan was in the mood to walk. She tried to dive out of my arms on the way into the school so she could use her walker. If it is cold I wait until we get inside for her to walk and she didn't want to wait. She walked all the way to her room, which took forever because she is like the school ambassador. She stops and chats with everyone, she tries to follow the older kids when they say hi to her, she claps for the police officer.
Anyway, when she got into her room her teacher picked her up and Megan wanted back down immediately so she could walk around the room with her walker. They said she was that way all day. She even walked to the office and back just holding one hand at one point.
I let her use the walker to get all the way to the car when I picked her up and then I parked in the driveway instead of the garage so she could hold my hand and walk to the front door and into the house.
Once inside I put some enticing toys on various surfaces throughout the living room and she walked from surface to surface, even turning around and letting go by herself. She was ready to go. She walked across the house and to all kinds of places with just me following behind her. Yesterday before lunch was like the Thursday 3 weeks ago. I was concerned that she would wake up from nap and be done with it like she was last time, but unfortunately she wouldn't go to sleep at nap time. She was so amped up, she was squealing and laughing for her entire nap.
When she got up, though she was tired, she walked around for 2 hours until dinner time. She was so happy to be walking where she wanted to go and she did great. So, this morning after she slept it was time to test her again.
She is still walking everywhere. Sometimes she acts like she needs me there and will lean back but if I tell her that she has got this and she doesn't need my help she leans forward and takes off. It is 9:15 and she has walked since she finished breakfast 1.5 hours ago.
