Two steps forward, one step back

I understand that people develop incrementally and that get one thing does not a whole picture make. That doesn't mean that I can't get horribly frustrated that when it happens.

I have been mentoring someone for a while, and honestly, it took a while to see progress. Then we went from sitting up to walking in what seemed like a day. Now we seem to be back in the crawling stage. The progress is still there, but it is coming at the expense of some previous progress.

But I am being good and there is no strangulation taking place. I am taking a deep breath and tomorrow I will deal with what did not get dealt with and try to undo what was done and keep mentoring until we have actual liftoff.

Sigh.
