How to Stand

Because our little guy never crawled, he has a little bit of difficulty with general agility. So, he has struggled with getting from sitting to standing despite the fact that he can tear around quite well. So, in cahoots with daycare, we are all working on helping him learn. And, he is now a complete pro! The process itself, is slow and laborious and sometimes involves a face smashed into the ground but he is doing it and he is proud. Here is the process.

This is step 1: turn to the side and put hands on the ground.
And step 2: Transfer onto the knees
Step 3: Finagle from the knees onto the bottoms of the feet (this is sometimes where the face plant occurs and he will persist working his feet to the ground with one cheek pushed against the ground.)
Step 4: Inch feet closer to hands with lots of grunting and heavy breathing and general hard, hard work.
Final Step: Stand up with great pride.

YAY Callum!!
