Learning from my 3-month-old daughter: 'It's natural not to be able to do it at first'

My 3-month-old daughter has recently started practicing rolling over.

She lifts her legs high and tries to roll over!!
Then she puts strength into her abs and goes, 'Ughhh...!!'

She is using trial and error to somehow manage to roll over.

After she does it two or three times, if I point my smartphone at her to record a video, she stops doing it, perhaps because she's tired—so not being able to record the video is part of the routine.

Since babies usually roll over at 4 to 5 months old, I'll likely be able to watch this truly heartwarming practice for another month or so.

My 2-year-old son, who was practicing rolling over just like this two years ago, now rolls over constantly without even thinking about it, as you would expect.

His sleeping posture is so bad that he rolls around so much there's no room left for me to sleep!!

Yes, it's a very obvious thing, but there was a time when we couldn't do anything.We practice and become able to do it.

When I had forgotten such an obvious thing, even when I started something new, I would try it a little, see no results, and give up, thinking, 'Nothing I do works out.'

Since it's something you're doing for the first time, it's natural not to be able to do it.

I think that if you approach new things with that in mind, you won't get discouraged and can work on them patiently.

I'll also practice steadily, thinking that if I do yoga Sirsasana (headstand), which I can almost do but not quite, every day, I'll be able to do it someday.

Thank you for teaching me, my daughter.

I look forward to your continued support.
