First Step on Wood

Wahoo! My boots can move! I blinked in the soft morning light and felt my legs stir right on the smooth wooden surface. Behind me sat a bright red cup, and all around lay scattered papers and pens. I leaned forward, gave a little wiggle, and reached my gloved hand out to pat the smooth plastic rim of that red cup. It didn't tip over—it just clinked gently against the desk. I am upright, steady, and ready to go!
