This last Friday (April 11), I think that I might have missed an important milestone in Elizabeth's development.
Elizabeth was having floor time and scooting around the house, while I was doing some laundry and Paige was laying on my bed watching Cinderella. I walked past my room and Saw Elizabeth holding on to the corner of my bed, kinda watching the cartoon, mostly trying to get Paige to want to play with her.
I left her there standing at the corner of my bed, cause she has been standing holding on to things for a long while now... that really isn't anything new. I was gone for 45 seconds when I heard a big crash and then tears. I came rushing back to find Elizabeth, laying on her stomach about 2 feet from the bed.
I am filled with guilt that the only one that was there to witness her first steps was her big sister. Paige couldn't care less when she is watching a princess movie. SO there was no cheering her on.
Needless to say, Elizabeth has not tried to walk again.
But maybe I am crazy and she was scooting toward the door and then just forgot how to scoot in her silly way and fell forward. That must be it. I will tell myself that Elizabeth has not tried to walk yet. And that is okay. That is better than thinking that no one saw her first steps.
