So I’ve been running into people here and there who have infants in and about as old as my boy Kingston – roughly 3 and a half months old.  This includes, one of my wife’s colleages who has a daughter who was just 14 hours older than Kingston.  What naturally occurs when you talk with these people is of course about the infants, “oh my 3 month old daughter has learned how to roll over already”, “my 2 month old grandson can sleep through the night”, “my 2 and a half month granddaughter has already figured out how to make baby noises!”  yadda yadda right?

Well, then I think about my boy having JUST learned some of those things a little behind some of the others. Yes I know I know, everyone learns at their own pace. But the comparison still creeps into my mind. We try flipping my boy on his stomach and he just flaps his limps helplessly and cries.  /sigh.  My smart little guy.

What is a parent to do?  I figured I better get my ass down to the bookstore and try getting some flash cards and books for him to look at pronto!  God I’m turning into a typical Chinese overachieving parent.
