Do you mean to say...
"The majority of them do, but my son learned to crawl before the age of two" ? That means the same thing as your son crawling when he's one years old, because this sentence mean that he didn't learn it at age two, but before the age of 2. Or do you mean he learned to crawl at 2? :confused: is that what you mean?
:) ;)

Many parents don't like to have their children crawl early because they think their floor is too dirty to have the child on the floor....... but kids are resilient and the floor is nothing compared to the germs you can get from almost everything!!

Muchos padres no les gusta que sus niños gateen temprano porque creen que el piso es muy sucio para el bebé......pero lo niños aguantan mucho y en comparación con los microbios o germenes que pueden adquirir en otras el piso is nada!

:eek:
