I don't want to wish this time away, but I do want the little man to get a shifty on with his walking, come on boy move it., here are some of the reasons why:
* No longer having to cart his big butt around constantly either side saddle, in the sling or in the buggy.
* Having hands free to actually do exciting things such as do up his siblings coats.
* Stopping the struggling for ideas of what the hell to do to keep him entertained. Can't leave him in the buggy all day, can't plonk him on the floor when out, half the time the house floor is not exactly clean enough for crawling, and don't even get me started on the filth on the floors in most toddler group/ community centres.
* Get some use out of his little shoes that I spent a fortune on, rather than them acting as expensive foot warmers only.
* Have the joy of walking along holding his little hand.
* Chucking wellies on him and watching how filthy he can get in lovely puddles and mud.
* Currently I hold his siblings down so he can crawl on them, pull at their faces and generally dribble on them ( they love it really honest), once he can move he will be able to catch them himself.
* Turning him into my little slave, nothing better than saying "child get me this, do that, take this there... and so on", its hard to do this if they can't even walk.
* Going to a park and having more options than just chucking him in the baby swing for ten minutes.
Finally - giving him more freedom, so when he has nappy free time he will be able to spread the wee and poo accidents even further faster ( strike this one off, I clearly have gone bonkers)
