It's one of the things that make learning bumps also rewarding for parents. It's payment for shit sleep!

This is so wonderful and heartwarming (except for the foot problems part). Go Niko! And it's so great that you guys supported his development by letting him try and giving him room to fail - such a good learning experience for him on so many levels.
