Why “W” Sitting is Bad
I know it has been a long time since I posted to this blog. Life just seems to happen. One of the events in my life that has happened is I have become a “NeeNee” 5 times in the past two and a half years! It is the most enjoyable stage of life in my opinion. When I came across this blog post through Facebook, I knew it was something that needed to be shared.

I will be watching my toddler grandchildren closely to make sure this is not the way the choose to sit.
