He would prefer not to...

be on his tummy that is!
Bradley, or B-Rad as Aunt Katie(aka my best friend) has started to call him HATES tummy time. I thought it would just be something he eventually gets use to...and once he learns to work those muscles in his little body the crying and screams would subside. Boy oh boy am I wrong! He hates it. The minute I start to lay out the blanket on the floor, the look comes across his face. As I start to lay him down he starts to whimper...then as his tummy touches the floor the crying begins. I sit there trying to calm him down. Talking to him. Playing with him. Something to get him to stop. I keep him there for just a few minutes... he needs the practice.
Well he gets so frustrated his tends to wear himself out. In the 2 minutes. (literally 2 minutes!) that he is "forced" to endure tummy time he ALWAYS falls asleep!
So much for practicing...and building up those muscles...maybe he is just too lazy...or stubborn.
