The Pink Shopping Cart

And no....this story is not about Little B even though he still loves pink.
This story is about Myles.
Today Myles turned 17 months. 
At his most most recent appointment we were told everything is great.
However, for some reason Myles refuses to walk.
Every pediatrician says he's almost there, no worries, things are great, etc, etc 
But, you start to wonder when little kiddo's 1/2 his age walking circles around him.
So, I have come to the conclusion that Myles has inherited the stubborn Roy gene.
Generations & generations of stubborn Roy's have been born.
These stubborn Roy's do what they want, when they want & how they want. 
This is Myles. He is STUBBORN.
He is our STUBBORN Little Mogli (Jungle Book)
When the ground is rough or cold he would rather lift his knees then walk. 
It does not matter how much you bribe, beg or trick him into walking he refuses.

BUT, I too am a Roy & have inherited such traits & have years of Stubbornness behind my belt & I am more determined to get him to walk.
My SOLUTION: The PINK Shopping Cart.
Every night we are now doing Pink Shopping cart laps around my kitchen.
Yes, laps & for lengthy periods of times. We make games & Bryant is involved too.
Everyone loves it & it has become a daytime & nighttime game.
To make it a little manly we started to include the green lawnmower. 
Tonight we are seeing progress. His laps "tricked" him into taking steps on his own.
Our STUBBORN little man will walk.
B/c his STUBBORN mother is on a mission. 
It's all about "The bare necessities, The simple bare necessities..
..."Of mother natures recipes, That bring the bare necessities to life".
