Dear Remington: All of the literature I've read has indicated that most babies start to love Tummy time around 3 months of age. Well, you are 3 and a half months old and still DO NOT enjoy tummy time. However, on occasion, you will stop crying while on your tummy and fall asleep. It is important as parents that we give you Tummy Time (or so we are told) -- it is a way for you to increase strength and flexibility in your neck, arms, and legs. Tummy time is a developmental precursor to crawling. Although it is something we need to do as your parents, Mommie and Daddy dislike it almost as much as you do (because it makes you cry).
What tummy time has made me consider as we grow together and as you mature, is a hope that you will forgive us for mistakes. I hope you will also forgive us for doing things that we feel are right for your care and well-being that you dislike.
Part of our job as your parents is to ensure that you have not only your basic needs and wants met, but that you are a good citizen -- with good values, and morals. We will do everything in our power to make sure you thrive in your life. We love you dearly!
Love Forever and x Infinity,
Mommie
