She took the first tentative steps
Hesitant and unsure of her abilities
Grasping the edge of a chair, holding on to a jamb
Now she is unstoppable, careening all over
Even when stressed the benefits of caution, lost on her
She runs as fast as her little legs carry her
She is aiming for a gold medal, a brass one not enough
Call her name, ask her to be careful, she is not going to heed
But that is the point of being young and full of beans
( This poem is about my 14 months old granddaughter who learned to walk when she turned one. Now she is quite confident and unstoppable!)

My grands just had birthdays… going into 5th and 2nd grades… time flies!
They do seem so full of energy. We had to warn one of them that just going to the park without an adult isn’t safe these days. The older one did that, claimed permission from a half asleep adult. They will not do that again! We hope!

My elder grandson is going to grade 5 too. He is quite sensible. But the other two are both 14 months old and really unstoppable.

As soon as they learn they can travel under their own power they are gone! They have places to go and things to get into trouble with. Ha ha!
