It might be normal but a detailed neurological examination by pediatrician /pediatric neurologist is a must before saying this normal

Yes it can be taken as normal as long as the child is able to walk normally in between. Many kids do that. If he continues to walk only on toes completely then have to get him examined by a pediatrician.
