Aidan, Alex, and I ran some errands this afternoon. One of the errands included dropping off printer ink cartridges to my mom (Alex's father was kind enough to bring some home from work at no charge...). Anyway - we dropped off the ink cartridges and Mom had a surprise for us. She has an in-home daycare center and one of the parents (who have ALREADY been so very generous to us) donated their full size swing (we have a "fold-up" swing) as well as an exersaucer. Both are in absolute pristine condition. So, thank you guys so very much. Aidan is already getting lots of use out of the swing (he's falling asleep in it as I type this).
It was funny, too, because Alex and I decided to let Aidan try out the exersaucer. For the past week or two, Aidan has been insistent on us letting him "stand" on his own. Basically, we put our hands underneath his armpits and he puts all of his weight on his little legs and feet. He really does "stand" on his own, although he may look like a drunken sailor 99% of the time! What a cutie pie. Anyway, we thought he'd really love using the exersaucer - he can "stand" whenever he wants to! But, alas, his little body is still too small to use it. Alex put him in the exersaucer (on the lowest setting) and his little legs almost touched the bottom. Aidan probably has another 1/2 inch to grow or so. We also had to put a rolled up blanket behind him because his torso is nowhere near big enough to "fill up" the seat. Our little boy is trying to grow up, developmentally, too fast!
I did try and put a package of diapers underneath his little feet so that he could "stand" on those, but the packaging was a little too slippery for him. Every time he tried to stand, he'd slide right back down. Oh, well. Now it's just something he can look forward to trying again in a month or two!
