Current Mood: Tired
Right before Mia was born her Nina and Nino bought her a really expensive and cute little baby swing for her babyshower. I fell in love with it when I was researching swings and everyone had high reviews for it. It had little bears on it and everything, I thought it would be perfect since it was neutral enough for the next baby (yes I was even thinking of future babies while I was pregnant with Mia). Well we got the swing home and I put it together right away... all big and pregnant. Soon Mia was born and big enough for it. I was so happy to put her in and excited... but she wasn't. Infact she HATED the swing so much and would scream and cry bloody murder whenever I put her in it. So unfortunately, it got little to no use at all. I didn't stress to much since I knew we would eventually have another baby.
Well along came Alex and into the swing he went... and he too HATED it! He screamed and cried hysterically whenever he was in it and wouldn't last long swinging at all. I couldn't understand it! All babies love swings.. what are wrong with my kids!?!!
Well we made a trip to Oxnard this past weekend and there Alex tried out his cousin April/Sophia's old swing. Sophia just recently outgrew the swing so when Alex actually liked it and slept in it, his Auntie and Uncle gave it to us! YAY!!!
I set it up while Alex was napping! Right away Mia fell in love with it and ran over to it holding her baby doll. She kept putting her doll in the swing and swinging it around then taking it out then putting it back in. She was so excited. Then Alex woke up and I put him in the swing. Mia blew up! She was so upset!!! I thought it was because I took out her baby doll to put Alex in it, so I went and grabbed her old swing from the other room. Right away Mia said "Mia's Swing!!!! YAY!!!" I thought she would put her baby in it but no SHE went right in it!! I tried to stop her because she is WAY to big for the swing and will break it but she was so excited to be able to swing next to her brother in HER swing. Sigh... what am I to do! Oh well... so I let her. Now shes glued to the swing and is ALWAYS in it! I try to get her to be gentle with it because I know she will break it but she still manages to swing really hard in it! So much for selling it... I know its just a manner of time before she busts it. But it is her swing after all and at least its finally getting some use! haha besides... there is something really cute watching her swing next to her brother.
