Voluntary Mobility

Dear Rose,

When I went to pick you up at Montessori this afternoon, two of the babies were sitting at the gate, so I couldn't get in to you right away. You saw me, your face lit up, and then, THEN! you got on all fours and began to CRAWL TOWARDS ME! It was amazing and breathtaking. I cheered for you! I yelled, "Come on, Rose, you can do it!" and clapped my hands. Your teacher, Eileen, cheered you on too, saying, "Go, Rose, go! Go to your Mama!" You almost reached me, and then, you flopped onto your tummy and began to squawk, so I came in and picked you up.

When we got home, Dad read on your pink sheet from school that you enjoyed crawling around the room and he was very excited. Later on, you crawled towards a piece of paper that you wanted to get and Dad was able to see you crawl and he was very excited too!

Go, Rose, go! The world is in front of you!

Love,
Mama
