T can pump herself on the swings! M taught her. I feel happy for her and proud of her, and also a little guilty. My older two kids didn't learn how to pump on the swings until they were seven, or eight even. They didn't need to know how. I was always there pushing them when they needed it. C, my third child, learned a little younger. She was maybe five years old. I just assumed that she was just keeping up with her older siblings. Maybe that is what it was. Or maybe it's that I just didn't spend much time with her out on the swings. Maybe she learned because she had to. After all, I was busy with T by then. And now, my little just-turned-three-year-old T has been so neglected in the swing pushing, that she has had to learn to pump for herself already. She seems happy enough, though.
