Maggie Takes Back The Tummy

As aforementioned, Maggie does not care for Tummy Time. Despite my heartfelt talks with her about the ways that it promotes development, and the ways that we can make it fun with a few color-contrast toys and a positive attitude, she continues stubbornly unimpressed. When tooting, pooping, barfing, and yelling all failed to make her parents abandon their merciless abuse of her, Maggie took matters into her own abdominal muscles. At the tender age of six weeks old, our delicate flower of a daughter has learned to do a push-up, jackknife her body sideways, and roll off of her tummy triumphantly. I looked it up, and Max started flipping when he was four months old. The average age, according to my parenting books, is around three months. Apparently, Maggie is a very physically strong, and very stubborn, genius of epic proportions. This is not a great combination to contemplate if you are the people in charge of raising her. All we can hope for is that she will be a benevolent ruler.
