there are so many different aspects to parenting that i know nothing about. in fact, i was just telling eric the other day... 'how in the world did we get through those first months with gemma?' i mean we had no idea what we were doing concerning schedules, feedings, sleeping...you know everything involved with babies. not that we have everything figured out now by any means, but it just seems a little easier now that she is a little older.
there are several ideas that we have gotten concerning parenting that i have been trying to implement throughout our days... thanks to suggestions and advice from various people whom i greatly respect and admire their parenting styles.
these suggestions include, reading lots of books, practicing sitting in a high chair (so when we go somewhere she will actually sit in there and we can enjoy our time), swimming tips...
one such suggestion was 'blanket time'.
this includes simply laying a blanket on the floor with a few toys and having gemma stay on it for anywhere from 15-30 minutes. so right now it isnt too effective. she still rolls right off and i am constantly having to put her back on it and say, 'stay on the blanket'.
i know that she will get it eventually, but for right now we are still in the training process.
