Haiku Friday: Motivation

Crawling: it turns out
all Mira needed was the
right motivation.

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?

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.
