Rose's POV
In my full month in this world, I have seen my uncle 5 times, but I still haven't seen my father even once. I sure hope that he wasn't the typical tyrant cold-blooded type like described in shuojo novels, that would be horrible.
Today is another day to be productive, I may have failed to turn over last day but today must be the day!
Mira went to my room earlier than expected, and this signifies that Uncle is coming. What might be a greater gift than having him witness my glorious flipping? So I gotta practice!
Apple Puree was in the menu today, and after having my fill, I started to practice flipping on my back.
Babies are naturally round creatures, maybe that's the reason I'm struggling so much?
I tried to contract my muscles to exert more force and I made it halfway through the flip but bounced back to where I started. ಠ︵ಠ
After repeated tries, I finally managed to flip on my back, the next step would be to learn how to crawl. I started going around the crib by crawling and after 2 minutes of crawling, my legs and arms gave out. I guess that's what my limit is.
I rested for a bit and conserved my strength so that I will have enough to show off my achievement to my uncle.
--
A bit after lunch, my uncle finally arrived.
I called out to him, "Uwee"
"Yes, what is it dear?" - he replied.
I started to flip my back showcased my crawling position. I heard many gasps and claps, mainly from the maids. Then, I heard a sniffle, I turned my head and daw Mira wiping the corners of her eyes.
"You're growing too fast, princess" - she said
"Isn't she still a month old?" - my uncle asked
"Yes, your highness" - the maids collectively answered.
"I'm torn... Should I be glad that she's maturing too early or should I be gratified?" - he sighed obviously feeling troubled.
But it's still not the end to my presentation!
I started crawling around the crib. I heard another burst of exclamation.
Heh- that's right, be amazed as I've finally succeeded!
