I’ve heard that when some kids first learn to pull up, they get “stuck” because they can’t figure out how to get back down. I had not heard, however, that some kids who learn how to get up on their knees also get “stuck.” Sweet Charlie loves to get up on his knees in his crib, but he can’t figure out how to get back down. He’s had to be rescued the last two mornings, at naps and before bed. I know you’re supposed to let them just work it out -- whether that means they fall asleep in that crazy position or collapse in utter exhaustion -- but I just can’t do it (yet!). It’s too sad to hear his panicked cries and then see his pitiful little swollen eyes and tear-soaked face peaking over the edge of the crib. I’m sure his bright and early wake up calls will make me less sympathetic and this morning I found him in the standing position, so I suspect it’s going to get worse before it gets better!
Seriously, who can resist this sweet face?
