What are you wanting to do? Are you worried that your daughter doesn't like school? And your son will walk when he wants to. He's only 9 months. Give the kid some time :)

Three year olds understand a lot more than you think. Their language just hasn't caught up with them yet.
As for your son, he will walk when he feels comfortable with it. My granddaughter would stand for several minutes at a time and not take one step for about a month before she started walking, it was frustrating, but she had an older brother and sister that ran around her all the time, so I felt like she felt more stable standing still than trying to move. My kids all started to walk about 9 months except for her, kids all have their own timeclock, maybe your son is more of a thinker. Don't rush them too much!
Your son is still a baby most babies don't walk till their 1st birthday or later.And your daughter yes they change and it is hard to let go.But it is important they see the world in their own eyes they learn so much everyday and help her learn.
I wouldn't worry too much about your son...mine didn't walk until he was nearly 16 months old (he was just stubborn). He also finally decided to walk b/c he was re-enrolled in a daycare program and the peer pressure did wonders! He was walking in under 2 weeks! If you are worried about a develomental delay, contact your child's doctor. If he has one then you qualify for the Exception Family member program and will get all kids of extra benefits and therapy for your child.
Yes, it is hard to watch our kids grow up. They become different people when we let them go out into the world on their own. But this is all part of growing up. Ask your daughter how her day was and just tell her how much you missed her and can't wait to hear what she did at school...it won't replace the fact that you weren't there but it helps to know what she's doing and gives you all something to talk about.
