In the spirit of Thanksgiving.....got a hot tip from Cindy's friend Peg that the Papasan swing from Fisher Price was worth it's weight in gold (and it's heavy, I know, I have carried it back and forth from the bedroom to the living room 10 times already).

Just the look on Maya's face is worth the cost of this ugly contraption. She loves it and falls asleep every time we put her in it. It can swing sideways as well as back & forth in six different speeds. It has a mirror where she can look at herself and she is simply enamoured by her own reflection. An ugly mobile thing with bees and three different sound modes.

I wonder though, why can't they make nice, contemporary looking baby stuff? This thing is another hideous plastic thing with off white sheets of plastic and not so cool colors. Our house is going from an attempt at looking cool and contemporary to a mishmash of plastics in primary colors, bright red, green, blue and yellow.

I digress...just wanted to say that the Papasan swing works wonders and Thank You Peg for the tip.
