The frustrating thing was that since the cottage, we were convinced that Kai could walk without aid, but he wouldn't go forth and get on with it already. We would hold his arms and help him walk around the cottage in circles. He walked for quite some distance at Fernworthy Reservoir and screamed, in a sort of Linda Blair Exorcist-fashion, when we picked him up ending his perambulatory adventures.
Throughout Christmas we persisted and persisted... still no signs of him getting his feety act together. Come on, dude, you know you want to. You're just scared. Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat. Unfortunately, my taunts fell upon deaf ears. And Kai's ears too.
