“The child is the father of man”
In a somewhat different twist to the age old Shakespearean quote… here is a classic role reversal. The child helping the father take baby steps and learn how to walk by himself!!!
When my brother and I reached home, the first thing dad wanted to do is try practicing some more walking!
When we are out for a week, apparently he tried again walking by himself when everybody was sleeping and had yet another fall. Fortunately, he again escaped easy – with a bump on his forehead. (Last time he had stitches).
As worried as I am that he is being too impatient, full points for not giving up on the urge to walk around again in spite of the falls…
100/100 for effort and willpower. He is not giving up and that is a great piece of news even with a little bump on his forehead. The alternative is not good.
He is doing well. Ensure that good physiotherapist is available for at least a year. It helps.
