To help me crawl she would sit in front of me, turn on my favorite musical toy and I would have to get it myself if I wanted it. She started off by sitting in arm's reach at first. And than she would move back further.....and further.......an further. Really?!? Just give me my toy!!! I got upset a lot and just wanted it. I got upset because I couldn't get it. So what I did was move just a little tiny bit.....and than I would stop and just lay there. At that point she moved closer. But I still didn't move as much. Purposely?? hmmm maybe......but what she didn't know didn't hurt her. :)
She continued to come by for a few more weeks after that. I showed her a little progress but not much. Do you know what I did instead of crawling?? I rolled!! I rolled everywhere!! It was fun. I was probably the fastest rolling 2 year old you ever saw. I was so fast sometimes that you didn't even see me roll. I was like a ninja!! Yup! It was awesome!!
The teacher finally gave up on trying to get me to crawl. She told my mom and dad that we would start on walking next time. When I heard that, I was thinking, NOOOOOO!! I'm just kidding!! I know how to crawl!! I don't want to start walking yet!
So what did I do?? I started crawling the day after she gave up. LOL! psshhhh I knew how to crawl. I just enjoyed rolling to my destinations a lot more better. Crawling wasn't bad though. I got pretty fast at that too!! Except I didn't hold my head up. Instead, my forehead would drag on the ground as I crawled. That way I would know what was in front of me. I was a mean crawling machine!!
Do you remember the part on Aladdin when he was on the magic carpet flying through the lava??
Yup! That was me! Once I got things mapped out in my head, I hauled butt around the house avoiding this, dodging that.....yeah. I was awesome. :)
But even though I proved I could crawl like a ninja, "sigh" I knew that she was coming back. To teach me how to walk........
