This will be short and sweet because I am really tired and need to get to work early tomorrow morning.
Anyway, I bought a walker for Eli yesterday in Ames after the football game and brought it home last night. Once it was assembled, we put him in and thought he'd love it because he wants to walk (with our assistance) everywhere. Wrong.
He was terrified of the thing because all he could figure out was how to back up and it was freaking him out that we were moving farther away instead of closer. He was tired too, so we figured today may be a little better.
It took a little while, but he finally figured it out tonight. He seems to like it and his initial reaction once he started moving forward was lots of laughing and big screams of excitement. Unfortunately, I was a little late with the camera, but I was able to get some of the footage below. Enjoy.
Editor's Note: You may notice Eli shaking what appears to be a medication bottle. Everyone probably thinks we are the worst parents ever to give our kid a big bottle of pain killers to use as a toy.
In actuality, the bottle is an empty bottle of Amber's nursing vitamins filled with peppercorns for our pepper grinder that Eli likes to shake. We would never let our kid have a dangerous medicine as a toy; we always administer his evening dose of valium and vicodin to help him sleep ourselves. Duh.
