At the risk of placing excessive expectations on the little guy, and knowing full well that I’m walking down the dangerous path to owning an honor student bumper sticker…Titus rolled over today!
At 15 days old, this is a bit early to be rolling over, but I want to disclaimer this with the fact that none of the three of us (especially Titus, as you can see in the picture) had any idea that he was actually going to flip anytime soon! The funniest thing was that I don’t think he planned to do it at all. To recognize this, I thought I’d write a 5-step instruction set from Titus to any baby who wants to learn how to roll over:
Step 1: Starting on your tummy, tuck your knees up underneath your body as far as possible.
Step 2: Pull your arms in close to your sides, keeping your elbows and hands in tight like you’re going to start doing narrow push-ups.
Step 3: Move your head back and forth, from the right to the left side until you get so dizzy that you can’t keep your balance anymore!
Step 4: When your head is too heavy to hold up any longer, swing it to the right, and just let your body follow until you’ve rolled onto your side.
Step 5: Take a few minutes to get a bearing, then finish by flipping your left leg over your right, and bingo! You’ve just rolled over!
