So, he&#8217;s gone back to walking by swinging it to the side.  We&#8217;re giving him some time.  He fell today because he didn&#8217;t think it would bend, but it did.  We&#8217;re hoping he&#8217;ll come to the conclusion that practicing with it bending might be a better idea.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/70803758@N00\/6894553276\/\" title=\"DSC_6191 by marleyec1998, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7094\/6894553276_296094e017.jpg\" width=\"332\" height=\"500\" alt=\"DSC_6191\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The foot on his other leg.
