KID STARTS SECOND YEAR OF LIFE: CAN NOT WALK YET, BUT ALREADY PLAYING FOOTBALL

KID STARTS SECOND YEAR OF LIFE: CAN NOT WALK YET, BUT ALREADY PLAYING FOOTBALL

Here we started the second year of the life, and it started in an active mood.

Nothing can stop the desire! Even the fact that the legs are not strong enough to walk, but already they are strong enough to move and crawl. So, it is time to do more active sport, like only the baby's gym, and to start to play football!

Actually, we started our training from volley ball plays first. I was throwing the ball towards the baby. And she was actively responds and pushing it back. Sometimes she was helping herself with one hand, but still mostly participating there with two arms, like a real player.

The next step: legs activation! It was very funny to watch, when I was kicking the ball towards her, and she was trying to respond the same way. It was not an easy task, standing  up the hands and knees, to kick back the ball with one foot, making it up. More often, the baby used to find another way. She was changing the position of the body to sitting up the butt. And when the kid had sustainability, she was actively taking the attack, like a true goal-keeper! This kind of game was the most exhausting for her at that time, I guess..

At the same time much more interest towards children it was noticed. It was already not like before, mostly watching and touching with hands others. It was already watching what others are doing, and trying to repeat somehow. For example, if in the baby's playing  area children were collected in one place and playing there, my kid was actively crawling there and with full of impressions face was watching others. She still was not repeating what others were doing. But, to be present among others , it was very important for her. This is how the first step of socialization looked like there.

Another kind of socialization there was visiting restaurants. Happy and interested face there was, when she watching the menu and picking the dish like a true lady! There followed the first tries to drink from the glass, when mostly all of the water was going up to the clothes and the floor..

I remember the funny occasion when the baby was so interested about colourful menu once, that the waiter brought the one more menu just for her. And later even presented it to my kid, as she did not want to give back the one after the meal. And once my baby took  the present from the restaurant without asking the permission. When I came back home, and withdrew the baby from the pram, I noticed the towel that they serve in the restaurant instead the paper tissues. The baby liked it so much probably, that had hidden behind her in the pram properly before.

We started the new year of life: each day inquiring the world more and more active way..
