With your first child, you are in a hurry for them to do everything. Talk, crawl, walk. You work with them, spend hours putting them into the crawling position.
Once subsequent children come a long, you are hoping that they don't move too early. Because the day will come that you will need to go grocery shopping with both kids in tow, and unless you go to Costco or Superstore, the carts are only built for 1 kid. And really, if you have kids, you need as much space in that cart available for groceries. So you let them walk, and sensing your weakness, this will be the time they will run in opposite directions. It's like herding cats.
I will pause so you can picture that.
For me, as much as I dread that day in the grocery store, I am hoping Kayla starts motoring soon. Even adjusting for her being preterm, she is behind in her gross motor skills.
She just started sitting on her own for short periods of time. And she will now keep her knees under her if you place her in the crawling position, but she will not put any weight on her arms.
I am going to start thinking of song to sing to her to get her moving. Maybe something like "I can't Drive 55" or "Motoring."
Suggestions?
