My husband and his sister never crawled-my mother in law held them until they were walking-and although their speech is fine, they have never had a firm abdomen, even when they were kids or when he was a lean adult (she has never been lean). Have you ever played the "alligator game" with Quinn? I don't know if there is really a name for it, and you could pretend to be a lizard instead of an alligator, but my siblings and I used to crawl around the house with our torso raised, pretending to be an alligator-we would do stairs that way, etc. It takes a lot of torso control without anyone realizing that's what they're doing. I play this with Aidan and my grandsons.China Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501593747405465770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207557587475182327.post-7057957544907611812010-01-16T06:53:05.266-07:002010-01-16T06:53:05.266-07:00My friends son had low muscle tone in his torso so...My friends son had low muscle tone in his torso so they would have him sit on a small excercise ball when he watched tv, they have to use muscle to hold himself up.
