In a seemingly futile attempt to save my back from developing a permanent hunch, I have purchased a walker for Benito. ($15 on Craigslist. Craigslist is maybe the greatest invention ever.) He seemed to be very interested in the little toys on the tray, and determined to ingest the plastic flower, but was totally oblivious to the walking capabilities of the device. He did manage to push off on his feet and slide backwards a few times, but was totally unaware that he was the one piloting it. I got the phone (most favored toy) and temptingly pushed a lot of beepy buttons on it, just out of his reach, to try to entice him forward, but he just kicked his little legs excitedly and pushed backward again. So, so far no success in saving my back from the finger walking, but it was just his first try. We will keep test driving the walker until he hopefully figures it out.
