No. A figurative toddler.

A literal toddler would be one to two years old.

I have five figures of karma with which to fight this battle.

To get excessively pedantic, he walks very poorly. Toddles around. So his gait makes him a literal toddler. All 1 & 2 year olds toddle, but not all who toddle are 1 or 2 years old.
A literal toddler is one who can read.

I'm reminded of a Simpson's episode where Arnold Shwarzenegger is elected as President, given 5 stacks of papers with briefs of options, and he picks one at random without reading it saying "I was elected to lead, not to read!"
