The Swing

We have a small delima here. Kal-el will only sleep in his swing. Which is about to pose a real problem the more he grows. He is almost at the maxim weight for the swing and his little feet are almost hanging out over it. We have tried everything. Chris and i decided that a few weeks after his operation we would let him sleep in his nursery in his "big boy crib". Well that has NOT been going so hot. Granted its only day 4 of this feat but he is really resisting this change. We went to buy him a brand new mobile with all kinds of special features. We found one that we liked really well and forked out more than we wanted to for it in hopes that this was the answer we had been searching for. In addition to this over priced mobile that playes Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, nature sounds and womb and heart beat sounds it also shoots projections of cute animals on to the ceiling in an array of beautiful lights. We also have another apparatus that makes his crib vibrate. Yes, I'm serious. Still, he will not lay in this world of fun for longer than 30 min. He loves it at first, he will lay there and "talk" to all the objects then when he realizes that we are gone and this is all designed to lure him to sleepy land he has a come apart and freaks out. So far in the battle of baby vs parents superbaby has managed to take the victory every night this week. We start out strong but the we get sooo tired of the up and down and not getting any sleep that we end up carrying him back to the trusty swing that sounds like a cross between a groaning beast and squeaky door due to the weight its holding. Not to mention the thing BARELY even swings now. I know that we just need to keep at it. Hopefully this weekend we will get a schedule down then its bye bye swing!
