My teacher at Gymbaroo has told me I can go up a class next term - I've graduated! She was watching me while I was standing by myself and clapping hands; in fact lots of people were watching me so I stayed there for ages and grinned happily. Thanks to that display, I can now go in the penguins group for new walkers. I'm very solid when standing, but still a bit hesitant to take too many steps. Three is my best so far, although I prefer to stand and rock my weight between each foot and then do a big lunge towards the next hand hold. I'm getting really quick around the coffee table though, especially when I see some food. At least next term is three or four weeks away, so I have time to practise walking with no hands.

I had beetroot risotto for dinner tonight; it was so yummy! I also had a lamb cutlet. I first ate one a few days ago when I scored Oskar's leftovers. I held it by the bone and munched my way through the whole thing. I was pretty happy with myself and Mum and Dad were impressed too. I like being able to eat my food by myself.
