Several (maybe all five) of our children learned to walk by taking brave baby steps with the encouragement of chocolate held by Mama Kay a few feet away. Irresistible (“attractive and tempting “). It was our fun, proven method for motivating babies to take those first steps.
As an adult, I sometimes use “baby steps” to get myself through challenging projects like planning, shopping, wrapping, packaging, labeling, love-note writing, and mailing gifts. (Naturally, Kay was always the leader for that, while I was good at driving to the post office.) When done, I can reward myself with dark chocolate (the healthy kind).
What is your personal or family history of baby steps?
