Usually on a Sunday I like to post a photo with no words, taking part in the Silent Sunday tradition.
But not this week.
Because yesterday I filmed a little video. And after all the posts I’ve written about my non-toddling toddler’s struggle with walking and hypermobility, the frustrations and questioning looks, the worry and negativity… I wanted to put something positive here.
This is what determination looks like, in the form of an almost 23 month old little girl with wonky feet and uber flexible limbs. This is what not giving up looks like.
And I’m so bloody proud.

What a super little mite – she’s a star
Molly says
I agree – although I’m a little biased…

She is doing so well – it’s really hard for them to walk on grass, even if they’ve been walking a while. What a poppet.
Molly says
Thank you – the ground was really uneven, but the grass cushioned the falls. She’s very determined!
