The other day I was getting ready to take Sophia to the studio for her 3 month portrait sitting. I looked back at Sammy's 3 month pictures, and realized that Sophia was not holding her head up nearly as well as he was at the same age. I panicked! I started thinking of how often I was having Sophia lay on her tummy during the day, and realized that it was not happening very often, if at all. Bad Mommy!
So, to make up for it, I started Sophia on regular tummy time right away. She screamed so much! It was awful, but I felt like it was for her own good, so I made her do it. I actually discovered that if I faced her towards the television while Sesame Street was on that she would put up with it. So, television and tummy time. One good, one bad, right?
Either way, I'm so glad that I jumped on the tummy time bandwagon. Here it is, two weeks later, and she loves it! Sophia is holding her head up like a pro, and she's no longer screaming. Plus, we don't even have to endure the fun of Sesame Street any longer to get her to do it.
I felt so bad that I had put off her tummy time, but once we got started it got so much better so quickly! Is there anything you've been putting off? It's never too late . . . to mend a broken relationship, to get right with God, to call your family . . . Just do it!
