Ode to the (Rainforest) Bouncy Seat


Oh, bouncy seat, how you help me!

You vibrate, my baby sleeps;

You flash bright lights, my baby smiles;

You play music (however tinny and uninspired), my baby laughs.

You even have a faux waterfall and plastic animals that tempt my baby to reach out!

He kicks his arms and legs happily while I do any number of things
(like shower, eat, unload the dishwasher, or unroll my yoga mat)

and wait for him to tire of the "rainforest experience."

Then I go to him refreshed, ready to hold him

feed him

burp him

change him

sway him

bathe him

love him like I've never loved anyone else.
