This from a parenting website:
In the race to reach the major milestones — sitting up, crawling and walking — some kids lead the pack while others bring up the rear. Just remember, growing up is not a race and the early leaders may fall back later. Each baby will reach each milestone when he or she is ready — and not before. But if you’re afraid your baby’s falling too far behind, here’s reassurance:
Did you all get that – it’s a race but remember IT’S NOT A RACE.
Just so we’re all clear on that.
As you were.
Hahaha! I understand the need for not racing through the race that is life. -snickers-
Too funny!
Salamaat,
i love it.
but is it normal for when you have the first baby at least, to keep comparing your kid all the time to others? I do it all the time; although i know its retarded and i know it doesn’t mean a thing.
it’s kinda like the article…i know it’s not a race; but I can’t help but try to gauge where my baby is in the race! :p
Children grow at their own pace. Parents are forever little kids.
Asalaamu alaikum,
Maliha – oh the comparing thing – I used to do it until I realised it made me feel like a failure!
Brother Irving – I don’t think I will ever outgrow my toilet humour
At least now I have the children to use as an excuse for my poor taste in jokes!
