And here, is where I like to put Clover when she tries to do that naughty rolling-over behavior. I just strap her in where she can't move. She laughs at me like this. 
Yes, I know it's wrong to stunt her development. I won't do it forever. I just need a while to get used to the idea of her growing up a little bit. Don't go turning me into the bad parent police. I will let her roll....soon....I will watch her roll over and I will clap my hands and cheer and take pictures and I will hug and kiss her and tell her how wonderful she is. Then, I will go to bed that night and cry tears of joy wrapped in sadness on my pillow because being a mom stretches my heart in the most contradictory ways where I simultaneously rejoice in their achievements, and mourn their growing independence....and I will thank God for the moments of my life with lovely Clover True.

Rolling over? How can that be. It does seem that she was just born yesterday. Oh, the speed of life! =<
