A Swiftly Tilting Planet

Our son is (finally) starting to walk on his own, but he's fairly stealthy about it all. For example I'll catch him in the mirror and turn from brushing my teeth. Like a wild animal caught in the highbeams he will freeze and quickly drop to the floor. Jenn says seeing him walking is like spotting a unicorn.

I love that image! Our daughter was like that, too. She didn't walk until 16 months and even then her first steps were so tenuous.

I enjoy your writing very much--it's so evocative.
