Why?

Dear Avery,

Why do you hate your swing? The swing that a very considerate and thoughtful friend or family member (I'm sorry, I can't remember who right now) purchased with you in mind. The very swing that matches your bouncy seat that you seem to enjoy so much, so I know it can't be the design that offends you. Now, I know there weren't any fun toys to look at, but I added an after-market toy bar for your amusement. It also features five speeds, none of which please you. I thought most babies love the swing, spending hours sleeping peacefully in them. I know, I know; you're not "most babies" (smarter, prettier, etc etc).

Perhaps it's not "fancy" enough for you? It doesn't have lights, music, soothing sounds, or anything of that nature. It doesn't swing side to side. It doesn't have a plush seat that cradles you in softness. Hey, what can I say? I'm a simple girl myself. Plus I didn't want an obnoxious monstrosity in my living room. Well, you showed me.

Ahh well, I will keep trying. It has a weight limit of 25 lbs, so there is much potential for usage. Someday you will enjoy this swing, I just know it!

Love,
Mom

Logan hated his swing too, but loved his bouncy seat. He'd scream bloody murder. Weird, huh?

I want a swing! Why be in the swing when you can scream your head off and get the boob and be held?!? =)
