Shake, Rattle and Roll!

Movement is an important part of the developmental process. LD had already demonstrated, that she had mastered rolling from her tummy to her back. Mom was concerned that LD had not rolled from her back, to her tummy. Mom placed LD on her back. She smiled as she shook the rattle in her hand. LD observed that I was holding paper, in my hand. She demonstrated her curiosity, by vigorously kicking her legs and moving her arms. I rattled the paper louder. LD pushed off on her left foot, and rolled to her side, in an attempt to reach the paper. After three attempts, LD rolled from her back to her tummy. I rewarded her perseverance, by allowing her to touch the paper!
