The "Cruising & Stool" Story
Ern started to cruise when she was 8 months-old. Back then, she cruised by holding on a “non-movable” object eg the edge of the bed, sofa, etc.
Well, I have started to introduce ‘movable” object for her to hold, hoping in mind this will be a good platform for her to:
- Learn how to balance herself better
- Prepare her to walk (kiasu mummy???)
So, the wooden stool is the first thing I introduced to her as it suits her height.
For now, she tends to “lean forward and push” the stool. Thus, she cruises wobbly. If we don’t hold other end of the stool to slow her down and help her to balance herself better, she will fall to the front and hit the stool. She is not standing straight up to cruise but bending slightly towards the front.
Hopefully through this exercise, Ern is able to master the cruising skill better.

Just ensure the stool doesn't scratch your floor! *wink*
