Day 76: All's Well

Things are going pretty well with the baby. Krystal spends the days encouraging him to sit up and roll over and he's doing really well at it. He was able to hold his head up on his own fairly early. Of course that's compared to what the "norm" is which I think is a bunch of bologna. I think a lot of parents just wait for that certain age to start teaching their child to do stuff. If the norm is 3-4 months before it can hold it's head up completely, so that's what you wait for. Well, we did things to encourage him to hold his head up and his muscles developed faster and he holds his head up fine at 2 1/2 months. Kids start school around 5 years old. Why? Who decided that? Why not start teaching you kid as soon as you can? But people wait for those "milestones". They're just arbitrary numbers that baby industry made up. That's why we want to home-school. We will have complete control over when we teach our kid what. And we'll be able to make sure the information he is taught is accurate, which unfortunately in public school it isn't.

We have a while until then, but for now we just keep helping him on his way and he's taking to it with surprising ease.
