Kicking without consequence

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

We’ve struggled for a while now with Gareth to get him to stop kicking us when he wants attention.  He does it largely because his legs are stronger and they have longer reach.  Of course, he has also learned that he gets an immediate reaction to kicks.

So imagine the confusion when we tell him kicking is bad but then talk about how good it is that the baby is kicking.

In the future, we will be referring to the percussion of the unborn as “moving”.  As in, “the baby is moving” instead of “the baby is kicking”.  This should clear up any confusion.

And I bring all this up only because we can now externally feel the “moving” of the baby.
