Any mom knows that getting anything done
when you have an infant around
is next to impossible!
Well, this morning
I was able to mow the back yard
(well, half of it, until our mower quit 😛 Luckily, husband fixed it later!)
then pressure washed the kids play equipment,
play house, the patio, and our picnic table
(getting ready for summer!!)
Then I came in
and made a carrot cake
(recipe to come!)
did all the dishes
and made myself some lunch
all while my 2 month old
had a very pleasant 2.5 hour nap!
Now normally,
he wakes up from a nap as soon as I move from him
(when he falls asleep nursing)
but this swing is a miracle machine in our house
it is the only way that I get dinner made!
(or ANYTHING done for that matter!!)
We bought this Fisher Price Little Lamb Swing
for our 3rd child
We had been given a swing from a garage sale
that we used for our first 2 kids
but then got rid of it
when our 2nd grew out of it
That swing worked well
but wasn’t nearly as nice as this swing
Honestly,
ANY swing, as long as it works,
it worth its weight in GOLD!
I was worried about it eating batteries
but we used it all the time for our 3rd child
and now we are on our 4th,
and we have yet to put new batteries in it!
I think that is pretty good 🙂
They love to sleep in it
When I go to take him out,
he often gets mad at me
because he was sleeping so well
Sometimes,
if he is not asleep
but I NEED to get dinner done,
I put him in there,
and he LOVES to just watch the mobile
and enjoy the ride
It is so soft and plush,
I want to sit in it,
get swung back and forth
and take a nap
Too bad I’m an adult 😛
My older kids
and the 2 year old
are always trying to get in it
or putting their feet in it
or swinging it when it is not on
or hanging on it
and it still works like it is brand-new
Still LOOKS brand-new too!!!
I can’t think of any negatives I have about the swing
it does take up some space
but in my opinion
it is space well used!
They have a newer version
or
if you’re worried about batteries
They have one with an A/C adapter
