She's figured me out

I'm sure you all know by now how much DD hates tummy time, but I make sure we do three 10-minute session each day because that's what the doctor prescribed to help her catch up on crawling/rolling over/scooting. Tummy time always consists of lots of whining and crying. I freaking hate it as much as she does.

So guess what's she's decided to start doing? She cries and then goes "Muuummm! Mumma! Muuuummaa!" in between sobs. I think I need some noise canceling headphones.

Oh yeah, kills me when DD yells that from the crib! Is she interested in your cat? Manye you can use him to keep her entertained on the floor? Even if he isn't willing so much lol. DD will lay on er stomach near my bed for ever waiting for the cat to come out :P

Sometimes the cat will entertain her. I always get down on the floor with her and try everything, books, toys, singing to her, back rubs, etc - she is a big fan of My Pal Violet, so that also helps sometimes.  But she still usually ends up fussing about halfway through.

I had a mirror that played music and had lights on it for belly time with both kids and they LOVED it! You may want to try even just a plain mirror so she can see herself! Worth a try

We did the mirror thing too. Also, I would put him on his boppy stomach first during some tummy times to break it up.

Do you have to do 10 minutes straight each time? I think that's hard for any kiddo to do, especially now that she is older and wiser and knows what she wants!
