Is that Baby Einstein?

My child is a prodigy. He is crawling, sitting up, and pulling himself up to a standing position in his crib all before the age of six months. Don’t all parents feel this way about their children if they start to do things earlier than the timeline created by scientists that say what your baby should be doing at certain ages? Which then creates some animosity with parents that have children who do things later. Crawl when they are eight months, walk when they are 14 months. Is there something wrong with my child? They then feel the need to persist with the elongated period of doctor’s appointments and the money they spend to find out if there is a problem. All of this to then find out that nothing is wrong and they just need to be patient that’s how he/she wants to be. Why do they make such a timeline for parents to follow and this makes them feel like something is wrong with their child? I have come to the conclusion as a parent that we should just let them be who they are going to be and have fun watching what happens. When we worry we tend to lose out on all that is going on around us.

I will let you know what my little Einstein thinks of next……..
