My PaPa is not an early riser, but every morning he arose early before work just to spend some time with me. I gave him big smiles of course for this special effort! We had a lot of fun together while I was there and he taught me a lot of new things. He started with exercise, I used his fingers as weights and lifted them with his help, 3 sets of 4 each day. He also gave me pony rides on his knee, complete with music. He was giving me a taste of the rides to come...first on his knee, than on his back, than on a real pony! We also practiced pushing with my feet...an exercise to help me get my crawling legs started. We got close enough that between that and my rolling, mom and dad installed a safety gate at the stairs when we got home.
PaPa's are great!
