My first steps in the world

Last night I asked my mum about my first attempts at walking which I knew were very late for a child (I was almost 2 1/2years). my parents had
their baby grandchild staying over and we were talking about her development. She said when I eventually started to walk my limbs would do all kind of strange things like I didn't know what the hell
to do with them. I looked like charlie chaplin. (I later changed that myth into ronald firbank, I don't like chaplin much) I can't really remember but it must have looked very helpless and comic.

Well, anyway, I laughed when my mum told me. i also felt a bit guilty. I had my parents worry something was wrong when sometimes I think i was just being LAZY. but still i know i have
strange motoric movements (because i started out too late and missed experience?). I was a really fanatic crawler as baby. maybe i thought that was good enough for me. i was also was not interested in things that were IN THE OTHER PART OF THE ROOM (out of reach).

do you remember anything abt your baby years?
do you have motoric strange twissts of your limbs?
how do you walk? like a normal person?

Ooh! OOh! I walk horribly wrong. My hips aren't aligned correctly, so my feet stick outwards and my legs look sort of bent from the knee down. In grade school, everyone would gather around to watch me run because they said I ran like a duck. They found it quite funny. I didn't.

My sister started walking late, so my parents nicknamed her Scooter.

Nobody ever saw me crawl. As far as my parents knew, I was completely floppy and immobile until one day I was running smoothly around the house. Presumably I practiced in secret but I have no memory of that and showed no signs of doing so.

Somebody told me that that behavior is a sign of dyslexia, but I am mercifully non-dyslexic (eulexic?).
