When I was pregnant I promised myself I would live in the moment with my baby and not wish his or her life away. Other mothers warned me how fast baby grows, but somehow I now catch myself saying things like,
“Oh I can’t wait until she’s rolling” and; “It’ll be great when she’s on solids” and; “How good will it be when she can sit up by herself?”
I have to stop and remind myself to live for now and enjoy the amazing things she is doing at this time in her life.
Anyway, the new trick of rolling has finally been mastered. Yes, I wished it, and I got it – along with all new challenges.
In fact, Milla is now the ‘Queen of Rolling’. She rolls all over her play mat, and onto the floor…and then my dear baby rolls out of the door! No, seriously.
An extreme level of parental supervision is required when bathing, and during nappy changes she attempts to commando roll off her change mat as though she is completely invincible.
The greatest challenge however, is the ‘Queen of Rolling’ in the cot. Arms, legs, hands, feet and head have all been injured in her energetic pursuits (when she should be sleeping I might add) and many times I wonder how she could have possibly ended up where she did. I think quite often, by the look on her face, Milla does too.
So for now I will try harder to live in the moment…and be very careful what I wish for!
