Sitting From A Stand
Now that Ezra has learned crawling to a stand, he is learning sitting from a stand. The act of sitting from a stand is an act that isn’t yet perfected. It’s a controlled fall upon his butt. His technique is improving.
At first, sitting from a stand was a direct fall from standing that was like a tree falling in the forest. This usually resulted in him falling flat and possibly causing pain he could only express with a quick whimper. Then he learned to control the fall from a stand to land on his butt. This technique has helped avoid any major trauma, but does have the occasional misfall that makes the journey to butt continue with the head to the floor. NOW, Ezra is beginning to bend his knees and lower his butt so butt hovers over the ground before he lets gravity take over and finish the process of going from standing position to a sitting position. This technique lessens the changes of any fall trauma and seems to be furthering his overall desire to stand and walk and sit.
