He finally has the confidence to let go and is not grabbing at us to catch him or hold on. In fact he pushes our hands away. He likes to start at a wall to get his balance and turns around and off he goes! He has been practicing in his room where he can get from one side to the other. Now he is trying this in other rooms of the house! This is huge progress and so exciting!!! He does better with something in his mouth, concentration? (usually the pacifer is only at night and will be gone soon, now he is 4!) We will be practicing all weekend and also trying with shoes and leg braces on to see if that also helps! He has been walking with a walker for 2 years and recently started taking a few steps but balance and core strength as well as confidence prevented him from going far... now look what I can do! and he is so proud!
