lol at tutter having trouble with her arse

I knew a nanny who would always put toys etc within a child's reach in order to discourage them from crawling.

[FruitfulOfFruit]

Hmm. I encouraged my PFB all the way, as you do.

With ds1 I thought I'd got wise and left him to it, putting those toys within his reach. He took forever to walk, and when they can't walk you have to carry them everywhere. And they're so heavy. And then he took forever to talk, SALT and all that, it's so frustrating trying to communicate. And I've been changing nappies for years.

So with ds2 I'm back to pushing.

I guess I'll regret it when he walks at 9 months.
