A Mommy Story

I’m glad the video camera was right next to my chair to capture that. It was more of a flopping fish/army crawl, but it was forward movement. She’s only eight months old – I’m not expecting her to pop up and do a proper crawl yet.

Until Tuesday we had gone about it all wrong during tummy time. We held out toys like a carrot on a stick, urging her to push forward and grab for the toy. She had no interest.

But food? Food is worth crawling for, especially when it’s your big sister’s PB&J and goldfish.

She gave a repeat performance yesterday, although I was upstairs switching the laundry at the time and came down to find Mira with two fistfuls of half-eaten sandwich in her hands.

I suppose it’s good to know what motivates your kids, right?
