Dearest Nat,
You finally rolled over on Monday night!!
I was changing you after you woke up from your 3 hours long nap. After I finished putting on a new diaper for you, I noticed that you were attracted by the toiletries bag I placed next to you. You kept turning your head to look at the bag and stretching your right hand to reach for the bag. I watched quietly in anticipation for you to turn over. After a while I couldn't contain my excitment and went to get your porpor and your daddy to come. I don't want them to miss witnessing this important milestone in your life.
Your Por Por made a dash to the bedroom and you rolled over for the 1st time in your life by yourself a few seconds after your Por Por reached the bedroom! Poor Daddy didn't get to see you in action coz he was tied up in a meeting. By the time he came running into the bedroom, you have already done your act! Anyway, I was so excited that I screamed and cheered when you finally did that and I must have traumatised you coz you looked at me and then started to cry out loud. Well, I really didn't mean to frighten you but I'm really too happy. Your Por Por quickly grabbed you up and consoled you and I nursed you a while later to console you.
Sweet little one, I'm really happy that you finally roll over! I was worried that you didn't know how to roll over but you did it! It's really true that you'll be ready when you're ready. I've worried unduly. From now on, I shall be more relax and let you grow and learn at your own pace. I'm really proud of you. You showed no sign of learning/wanting to rollover and suddenly you just did it. I feel like I've just scored an A in my exams! Ha Ha! Your Daddy is equally proud of you!
After your first rollover, you rolled over for another 2 times and then you decided not to roll over anymore. We tried to tempt and motivate you with toys and food to get you to perform THE trick again yesterday but you simply wouldn't turn. You'll looked at the toy and food and smiled at house instead!
Now that I know you know how to rollover, I've to be very careful not to place you at the edge of the bed anymore. I don't want to risk you rolling over to the floor!
The Bag is what motivates you to roll over.
This is how you look immediately after rolling over
Love,
Mommy
