Memorable Moments: The Swing

Oh, how times have changed. Another memorable moment we will share as we approach your first year is the Holy Grail that was invented by God himself: The Swing.

Alas, we can no longer utilize "the swing" because your mom and I abused our privileges when you were 3-6 months old. Yes, our time has run out and your swing patience has expired.

But, let us reflect on the beauty that was the swing.

You see, once upon a time, we were able to put your cute, frumpled, unable-to-sit up-on-your-own body into this contraption known as the swing. And, for the cost of 4 D batteries a month, we were able to push a button and you would sit in your swing and watch TV, fall asleep, laugh the room moving back and forth, etc.

Oh, those were the days. Your mom and I could do productive things like, oh I don't know....the dishes, the laundry, vacuum, homework, and watch TV. And, then, you would fall asleep and your mom and I could continue those activities. Life was grand. You loved the swing. We loved the swing. Everyone was happy.

But now you're a demon on wheels whose life's mission is to burn the house down. But, you're a cute demon and we love you and we love that you are trying to burn the house down. Who needs a house anyways when you have a swing.
