Good news for Mom and Dad...Thomas has started to really take a liking to his bouncing chair, SWING, and toys! We were a little worried about the swing but it seems like Thomas is learning to like it, at least for up to an hour at a time. What a relief! Thomas is gradually feeling OK in his carseat but, for a while, the only way to get him calm in it before starting the actual car ride was to swing the carseat back and forth. So Joe and I were pretty confident that we could shell out the money for the swing we wanted and Thomas would love it. That was so not the case! He hated it and first and acted like just being in it was pure torture!
Well...for the last week Thomas has seemed to enjoy the swing! Last Saturday he spent about an hour taking a nice nap in it and since then he has spent anywhere from 20-60 minutes in it, either entertained by the mobile or sleeping. This is huge! He's also started to take naps in his bouncing chair and just this morning seemed to be able to entertain himself with the toys attached to it. It was so fun to see him respond to the swinging animals and smile! He was able to take a nap in it this morning, allowing me time to shower with him nearby, and was awake and able to keep himself entertained while I finished getting ready for the day and made lunch. It's amazing watching him focus on the toys and me and wondering what he's thinking!
