2Y2M 24W3D 気が付かないうちに Part2 He has already been able to... Part 2

先週、タカラの成長観察不足を反省したばかり。ところが、また見逃していた。気が付くと、サポートなしで座っている！母に話すと「数日前からよ。気が付かなかったの？」はい、気がつきませんでした･･･。かなり安定して座れるので、この通り、自分だけのものだったおもちゃを侵略されたアラタと、今後繰り返されるであろう長いバトルがもう始まった。

ブログを読み返すと、アラタは19週ぐらいから私がお座りの「練習」をさせていて、やはりこのぐらいの時期にできるようになっている。ほぼ同じ進捗だけれども、タカラの場合は1週間の練習でいきなり本番という印象。大変な思いをしてやらせなくても時期が来れば自然とできるといういい例かな。

It was just last week that I vowed to pay more attention to Takara's developments. But I missed another mile stone. Takara has become to be able to sit up without support. I was so excited to find him doing today, I called my mum to watch him. But she said, "Takara has been doing this for a couple of days. Did you not know it?" Well, no, I didn't... As Takara can sit up for a while, he can now reach Arata's toys. Arata isn't so happy because all the toys used to be "his" possession. They have already started to fight over toys, as you can see in this photo!

I've just read my weblog and found that I had been training Arata to sit up since he was about 19 weeks. He eventually mastered to sit up without support in around the same week as Takara is now. I feel as if Takara had mastered it in only a week. This is a good example that children don't need 'too much' intervention to grow up.
