the swing

I can still picture Walt's late step-dad when he said it. It was before the birth of our first baby, and he told us, "What you need is a SWING (insert hand motion demonstrating swinging)." He was right. This swing goes from side to side, which all of my kids preferred (none of them liked swinging front to back for some reason). All of our kids have taken at least one of their naps a day for the first three months in the swing. I know, some of you are shaking your heads about how we shouldn't use sleep aids to get them to sleep. Shake away - I love this swing!! It's the closest thing we've found to magic.
