Pulling herself up off the floor is a movement Madi has been working on for a few weeks. Today she figured out how to pull her knees into her chest to raise herself up to be able to climb up on her floor chair. She wasn’t able to do it every time (2 successful attempts out of 5 today) but this was amazing to see as last week there was no way this would have happened.
I then realized her motivation was to reach to the banner that was still taped to the wall from our photo shoot the other day. She wanted to rip it apart. I wanted her to know that I was proud of her effort to play in the kneeling position she got to on her own so I let her do it…poor banner…I’ve learned to pick my battles.
