Skipping Buzz
- During Mica's last preschool conferences his teacher's said that he didn't know how to skip.
- Mica's always been behind on things like skipping, pedaling a bike and even with walking he had a limp at first. He crawled with one leg tucked under him. Only one leg was used to crawl. Since he was only exercising one leg, he had a limp when he started walking. I've never seen a baby crawl like Mica. I saw a lot of funky crawls in our Baby and Me Group. The crawls I've seen: Army crawl, polar bear crawl and pretty much a scoot across the floor. Mica's was very different then all of those. When I looked his crawl up when he was doing it, I read that a lot of kids that get Autism crawl like that. Of course since Mica was born with a normal side of his tongue and a skinny side, the doctors were concerned of major asymmetric disorders. I was so worried. The boy had such odd things happen to him when he was a baby. I don't even think I could demonstrate what his crawl was like. I wish I had a video of his crawl.
- Well the boy knows how to skip now! He was a Buzz Lightyear, "To infinity and beyond!" skipper last night!
I'm so glad that he's thriving. It's really hard when our kids don't grow and develop like we think they should. Happily, it's usually a premature worry!
