Butt Down First

Yipee, finally Ern understands and demonstrates 'butt down first' whenever she wants to get down from sofa/mattress.

I started to teach her last weekend when we were at FIL Hadyai's home. I was using her toy to coax her crawling up and down from our bed to her mattress placed on the floor. During the process, that's where I introduced the 'butt down first' theory to her.

On that day itself, she was still on the 'fly down' method, never pause when she gets near the edge of the bed even I taught her at least 10 times. After then, i taught her once middle of the week (few rounds) and yesterday, she more or less 80% knew what is 'butt down first' already. Kong Kong was so thrilled to see her doing that at the sofa and really made his day!

I wasn't sure if she really knew because i was holding her hand before she got down. So I tried again just now. Yup, she knows finally!! She will pause, turn her body side way, 1 leg down and follow by the next leg. As this is something still new to her, I still need to remind her by saying 'butt down first',

Will take a video when she can do it without us reminding her.

Another milestone for Ern. :-)
