9 Months Old
The raven-haired infant sat up comfortably, as he rolled onto his side and eventually on his stomach. He was now laying on the carpeted floor staring at his mother as she encourage him to move his legs. He'd been practicing for a while now but hasn't succeeded yet.
"Come here Jinny. Come to me, I know you can." Jun urged on as her son started to shuffle his legs, but ended up getting frustrated resulting in crying.
Jun sat up and picked the crying infant, rocking him in her arms soothingly.
"I can't do this all the time, I have to let you learn and learning new things can be difficult. But with someone pushing and cheering you on, you can succeed." She put him down on his stomach again and shuffled a distance away.
"You ready my little man?"
Jin took his time to find his motivation, he first moved on leg at a time, followed by his arms.
He covered a little bit of distance but soon grew lazy and stopped crawling.
Jun came up with an idea, which seemed mean, but was worth a shot.
"Oh well, Jin. If you want to be lazy then I'm just gonna go hang out the washing." She stood up and started walking towards the laundry.
She heard Jin scream and kick his legs in an anxious manner.
Afraid of his mother leaving him alone, he instantly pushed himself into position once more and crawled to Jun quickly, clinging on to her leg and gesturing to be picked up.
"That's my smart boy!" The single-mother lifted him up from the floor and kissed his cheek repeatedly, gaining giggles from him. "Aw you love my kisses don't you? Well then why don't we go and get your carrier, so I can do our washing."
