Kenadie walking!

Kenadie is finally walking more than crawling! She started walking a little more several days ago, but would crawl if she fell. In the last day or 2, she has started getting back up and walking. This is a huge relief for me, because now I can take them outside without her crawling all in the grass and on the concrete. It would make my knees hurt to watch her. I think she actually beat Tye, though, because I think he was about 15 months and she is 14 months. The down side?? Now I have both of them to chase all over the place. She is already going pretty fast! I am getting braver taking them both out in public, now, and I think if I know that she can walk if I need her to, that will help even more. I have taken them out a couple of times in the last few days, and they have both done really well. I bought something for Tye one of the times, because he was just "so-darn-good!" I didn't after that, because I don't want to start him thinking he will get something every time he goes somewhere. Although, the other day at Target, Michael bought him a bag of beef jerkey, and it happened to be after he had thrown a fit. That was not at all the reason he got it (we don't play the bribe game...that just turns to more bribes!...), but, nevertheless, that is how Tye remembers it. I know this because a beef jerkey 18-wheeler passed us on the road, and Tye said, "Daddy gave me that!" I said, "yes, he did. Why did daddy give you that?" His response, "I crying." So, I shared that with Michael, and we tried to explain that was not why he got it, but that is not how he remembers it!! We had to laugh! Also in that conversation, we discussed why he got the scooby doo ball from the store. I told him it was because he was a good boy. His response, "no, mommy, I a bad boy." I am still trying to convince him it is "cooler" to be a good boy than a bad boy, but he insists he is a bad boy! So cute!
