Funny story - Scout and I went over to a friend's house today. She had a couple mommas from church and some other homeschooling mommas over to make cookies and hang out and teach the older kids how to make friendship bracelets. Anyway, one of my older friends (well, not really THAT old....maybe 45-ish) was holding Scout and she said "Awe, you wanna get down in the floor and play with those big kids, don't you?"

So she got down in the floor and sat Scout down and just LET GO!!!!! Of course, Scout immediately flopped forward and did a face-plant into the floor, since she can't sit up by herself yet. She cried for a second, but after the lady grabbed her up very quickly and comforted her, she seemed unphased and happy-go-lucky. The lady felt so embarassed. It happened too quick for me to react. I just kind of chuckled and said, "Oops...yeah .... she can't sit unassisted yet. I should've warned you." The thing that is weird to me is that she has 2 children of her own.

I know they are almost grown, but it seems that she would've known that most almost-5-month-olds can't sit up by themselves. I guess she forgot. She also asked me if she is crawling and standing up on her own. Ummm...No. Poor baby. I guess I know now not to assume that all mommas know how to handle a small baby :)
