Batteries Batteries Everywhere

When a woman becomes pregnant she should immediately buy stock in the Duracell or Energizer Companies. It seems I am forever replacing or installing batteries into one object or another. I can only imagine that it get worse as the toys get bigger. Why don’t they invent a swing or bouncy seat that plugs into the wall? It seems like such a simple concept. Maybe the toy companies have a secret pack with battery companies.

Anyway without the batteries my life would be just a little more difficult. It’s really helpful, when you have two to place one in a swing while you change the other. Both boys are starting too really like all the gear they have. In the beginning we were instructed not to over stimulate them and basically handle them as little as possible. Now that they are gaining weight nicely and interacting a little more I feel comfortable placing them in a swing or vibrating chair. It’s funny to see how each boy has his own personality. Rowan was the first to truly love the vibrating chair and swing. About 2 weeks later Kieran has warmed up the idea of them and he actually likes the play gym. He can sit in there for 45 minutes and stare at himself in the mirror or look at the lights flashing.

Rowan still has a little cold; he wakes up each morning congested. It’s so sad to see him sneeze and cough. Hopefully he will get better before all the house guests arrive next week.
