Just say "NO" to tummy time!

I am sure that Kyley is not the only baby that despises tummy time most days!  Or, she makes it seem like she does with the grunts, groans, yells, fake cries, etc.  Maybe it is because we have always been pretty consistent about making sure she gets plenty of it??  And, she starts out just fine smiling and playing with her toys...grabbing them and pulling them in...but she has a "not to exceed" limit:)  The funniest part is that she has always been really good on her tummy as we put her blanket in front of the tv, so unless we turn that tv off...she is up on those little arms, arching that head to see what is on the "big black box" as we call it!  Now do not think we are teaching her bad habits already, the spot in front of the tv is really the only good place to put her in our upstairs living room that allows her freedom to move.  

Kyley has been able to roll over for months at least four in fact.  However, she really has just been lazy and only would do it on a rare occasion (I think just to let us know that "yes she can do it") or if she felt like showing off I guess.  Well, we have probably been REALLY over doing and pushing the tummy time even more so than normal lately.  We have been working with her to crawl...not that she has to or needs to, but we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to guide her.  So, I think that she has just decided to say "NO" to tummy time this past week.  Almost every time we put her on her tummy, she ends up on her back immediately.  It becomes a game full of lots of giggles too.  She rolls to her back. I put her right back on her tummy.  She rolls to her back the other way.  She giggles and rolls the other way kicking and giggling all the way.  She is so proud of her self, and of course we clap and tell her good job!  Kyley has even been showing us how she can roll on her own from her back to her tummy, but she does not do that often as that defeats her purpose, right?

So once again we will let her have her way, and find her like this every time.  Although we will keep putting her back on her tummy so that we can continue to hear her giggles and see her big smiles!  Kyley will crawl eventually, and I am sure when that happens we will wonder what we were in such a big hurry for!
