I’d like to talk about transportation today. It’s kind of a weird thing to me because not 6 months ago the extent of my movement was basically flexing my fingers and seeing how my mom’s ribs worked as soccer balls (not very well by the way). So here’s a quick list of transportation that I put together.

1) So most people move by putting 1 leg in front of the other.  WAY too complicated. Let’s face it, it’s hard to balance on one leg while you’re trying to move the other.

2) I’ve seen some kids who are a little older move on all fours, this seems pretty efficient, you’re using every limb you have to propel yourself forward…the problem I see with this is that backing up looks pretty difficult. I’d rather not even try it.

Both of the downsides of these two make me a big advocate of the third:

3) Rolling. I’m WAY into rolling lately. You can go forward just as easily as backward. You can go OVER objects instead of around or dodging them. You can go pretty fast across the room. It’s fun. We have a dog, and usually when walking or crawling you have to jump over the dog or go over the dog, or go around the dog, but with rolling the DOG has to jump over YOU. Really, I don’t see a downside to rolling and I don’t think I’m going to try to fix something that’s not broken.
