So, lately Chris and I have been a little concerned that Colin is not yet walking. He is 15 months old, and Gehrig was walking by his first birthday. He is very good at walking if you let him hold onto your fingers, but the moment you let go, he gets upset and plops down on his butt! So, I was wondering what I could do to motivate him to start walking on his own, and was thinking about what would motivate ME to try something new, and then it hit me!
CHOCOLATE!!!! OF COURSE!!!!!
We gave him a little taste so that he would know that it was well worth taking steps for. Then we held up a piece, set him on his feet and let him go!
Not surprisingly, he walked!
Each time, and yes, we did it over and over again, he took at least 3-5 steps to get his "prize!"
And we were even able to get it on video!
