Moving: Part Two

In the process of packing, out of the back of Eleanor’s closet came the swing that she used to take most of her naps in when she was just a few months old. It was the only thing that could put her to sleep outside of our arms. When she was about eight months old we put it away in her closet. She had grown too long, so that her legs had begun to hang over the edge of the seat and she was napping in her crib by then.

Now that it’s back out waiting to be moved, Eleanor has become obsessed with it. She wants to sit in it and swing all day long. She is still under the weight limit and she is tall enough to get in and out of it all by herself now so I let her swing in it all she wants. It has been a great distraction to keep her busy while I pack.
