And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over"

Kiyomi has always hated tummy time.  Since her 1-month appointment when the doctor prescribed 30 minutes of tummy time everyday, she has wailed through the sessions.  I think the longest tummy time session was probably around 7 minutes.  When she got really upset, she would just lie there, head on the mat, crying in defiance.  So much for tummy time developing strong neck muscles.

Kiyomi's aunt finally (and brilliantly, I might add), figured that we should do tummy time while carrying Kiyomi around.  We tricked her into exercising her arm and neck muscles, mwahaha!  She didn't realize what was happening, and she would contentedly exercise while getting another house tour.  See how content she is?

Flying around for tummy time.  Look at how tired Daddy is!

And then.  A few days ago.  My dad didn't know how much Kiyomi hated tummy time and decided to plop her down on her tummy.  And she did not complain.  GASP!

And THEN.  Yesterday.  I put her down for tummy time.  She promptly stretched out her left arm and rolled herself over onto her back.  The girl who refused to do tummy time went from zero tummy time to rolling over!  Although, if I think about it, it makes sense, since she really enjoys being on her back so much more than her front.

Congratulations, Kiyomi!  You can officially roll over!
