The Evolution of Walking

Erik is finally walking more and more....in the past two weeks he has gone from needing to hold something to walk around and taking a couple steps.  This week on Wednesday he began pushing toys without help and by Saturday at Grandpa and Grammie's he was taking several steps with no trouble!  He's still wobbly....but I am seeing great progress in the walking arena!



There is not so much progress on the school front.  He cried the entire time, and not just crying but that hysterical, "I will die without you" crying.  He cries from the beginning of outside time (10:00am) until we go home at 3:00.  He refuses to eat anything at all while at school so not only is he sad, he's starving.  He sleeps for about 20 minutes before waking up and upon not immediately seeing me begins to scream.  I then scoop him up and take him in the office so he doesn't wake up the other kids.  He happily reads books until it's time to go home.  However, if a teacher comes to talk to me he begins to freak out that she may take him away, so then he begins to cry all over, and then he looks like this.

We've been talking a LOT about school.  Tonight when we put him to bed we said "Go to sleep so you and Mommy can go to school tomorrow." to which he responded with..."OK, and I will cry there". 
At least he's making a plan to work through it.
