For the past month or so, Colin has been pulling up on EVERYTHING. However, he has not quite grasped the concept of getting back down. For instance, just the other day he discovered that his crib is a great place to practice standing up. I put him down for his nap, and then he would start screaming because he couldn’t get down. So, I would go back in, and lay him back down, and before he was even completely on his belly, he was sitting back up in order to pull himself up to standing. Several times this happened. He does have one method of attempting to get back down from standing. Instead of bending at the waist like most normal people do, he flings himself backwards while arching his back so that the first point of contact to hit the floor is his SKULL! Yes folks, I am raising a “challenged” child. Can you say, “short bus”? Anyway, the distance between the sides of his crib are just about the distance from his feet to his head. So, as he flings himself backwards in there, he cracks his skull on the opposite side. You may want to try this, for it must be fun. He didn’t do it once. He didn’t do it twice. No sir, he did it THREE TIMES!! Now he has three lovely bruised on the back of his cranium. I don’t ever need to abuse my child, cause he takes care of that himself.
