As Nash tries walking more he falls a lot more... This is hard for me to watch my child fall again and again. Cry, get frustrated, a few bruises, and then crawls over to an object to stand up and try again.
I found myself standing at a distance with tears in my eyes at least three times yesterday. It just hurts my heart so much to see him trying sooo hard and his body fails him... I then say.. "Great job walking Nash... Get up and walk more. You can do it!" He looks at me and off to find a object to help him stand. Then I shed more tears, because of his determination. He could just sit there, but he doesn't, he wants to walk. It amazes me and inspires me. I think of this is just one of many ways his body has and will fail him and I am SOOOO thankful that God gave Nash the personality, spirit, and determination to get up and keep trying.
Also thank God for knee pads... which as covered in mud from being outside. Nash is exploring the yard! He loves to be outside. He has been going to the door and saying.. "Outside.' More like "ouhside."
Got to run... The boy ate lots of veggies off the grill last night and I smell they have worked their way through... Fun fun!

He is LUCKY to have a mama cheering him on every day! I know how hard it must be for you to see him struggle but little Nash has a big spirit. He has wanted to find his way in this world on his own from the moment he was born. Now is no different. We're cheering him on from Des Moines! We know he can do it!
