Swing & Binky = Evil

Yes, the swing that has saved our lives and our sleep for the past three months is now evil. Evil I say. The reason that this once miraculous invention has fallen out of favor? Well, our Bailey has outgrown it...and she just doesn't sleep so well without the rhythmic back and forth motion.

*sigh*

We're working on breaking her into her crib. She spent all of last night there. She went down at 8, woke up at 9, 10, 11:45 (got fed this time), 12:25, 2, 3:30, and 5:15.

And why, you might ask, did she wake up? Well, the binky fell out of her mouth, that's why! And because she wasn't swinging in a nice gentle motion, it become a reason to wake up and cry until the binky was put back in.

*sigh*

At one point, I rolled over and asked Kelly if she'd like to play "fetch the binky" for a while.

Festive good times.

Mikki,
Oh my God; the swing is evil! I feel so sorry for you, Bailey and Kelly.

I hope other young mothers come to your resuce with great ideas to solve the current crisis.
