rolled over from her back to tummy<\/em> this afternoon?<\/p>\n

Twice!<\/p>\n

For months Bean’s been going tummy to back easily because when I put her on her stomach for “tummy time,” she gets bored and\/or tired and\/or frustrated, and flips herself over. It’s the other direction she hadn’t figured out. The past few days I’ve been playing a game — laying her on a large towel and rolling her side to side to help her experience the process. This afternoon, I was lying on the floor playing with her, when she oh-so-casually just rolled herself over!<\/p>\n

She immediately began playing with a toy, then leaned a little too far over, and rolled onto her back and began sobbing. I can only conclude she cried because she had not intended to do that. I comforted her and played with her while she was on her back, and a few minutes later she simply rolled back to her tummy.<\/p>\n

I know it’s a small thing, and if you don’t have a child you might think it’s no big deal. But to me, watching this little person grow, it’s a Big Accomplishment.<\/p>\n

It’s probably an accomplishment on par with my being able to do this! (For a fat, out-of-shape mother of “advanced maternal age,” I think it’s pretty impressive.) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
