Baby steps

Elaine has been trying to learn new words, listening to the adults and the other kids saying stuff and trying to make her vocabulary more rich. Though she still didn't want to say things to people, well, aside from maybe Elizabeth. She really wanted to impress her mama though, so she hid her progress from her until she was ready to show it off.
This time however, she wasn't practicing her words. She was walking by supporting herself on the wall, for some reason. She wanted to see what walking felt like, though each time she tried to do it on her own she just fell and tripped and couldn't do it. She's been trying for what felt like forever, but... she actually made it at one point. And that's how you find her. Giggling and walking. She looked geniuinely so proud of herself.

Vivian was just- well, she went to check on her kid, of course. Well, this isn’t her baby, but, you know, it’s her kiddo she’s gonna look after, you know what she didn’t expect to find? The little gal walking. Her eyes widened as she quickly approached Elaine, both concerned of her falling, and holding back the urge to make a childish squeal and scoop up the little gal because she’s walking! Aw the baby..
"Mama!" Elaine squeaked happily and took another shaky step. She was learning! And she impressed her mama! She tried so hard to do that with this, and she was finally managing! She was so happy. She made little giggles and walked closer to Vivian, looking extremely proud of herself. "Mama look! Walk!"
Vivian scooped up Elaine with a smile, “Oh good god- look at you! You’re— you’re doing it, oh my god-“ yep, she’s treating this as if it’s her own baby
Elaine giggled and hugged up to her caretaker. She was glad to make her happy. "Doing... doing- good?" She tried to mix the words she's been hearing up to make a sentence.
“Yes! And you’re talking too… sweet baby, when did you learn all this?” She asked with a smile, gently pressing her forehead against hers
"Uh.. fff..." The little girl struggled to say something. She wanted to impress her mama more- come on, she's heard those words a million times! "Fffree.... freeee.. free tiiiimmeee..."
“Aww- you’re just-… good job, baby.” She smiled all big at the little baby
