Yesterday I was with the kids in the kitchen. Joel and Elise were painting with water colors whiles Erik was sitting on the kitchen floor with a toy. He started in one area of the kitchen and then before I knew it, he was about three or four away from where he started, still on his bum though. I scratched my head and realized that somehow, this little bug had on his bum scooted himself down the kitchen.
None of my kids were the textbook crawlers. Elise hardly crawled at all until she was probably close to a year. Whenver she wanted to get something she rolled from one place to another. Joel started crawling fairly early, but instead of doing the regular type of crawling he did the army crawl, using only his arms to lug himself around the house. Now it seems like Erik (though he does do some rolling), has developed yet another mode of transportation – bum scooting!
Though they eventually end up in the same place – walking on two feet – it is cool and very fun to see how they get there and how each one takes their own unique journey of transportation !
