Sensory Afternoon

Even after a full hour of their weekly OT session, the boys were still in the mood for a little sensory play time.


Who needs a real bed when you can have a swing in your room, right Sawyer?

We took his bed apart a few months back and just put his mattress on the floor so that we could give them more room to swing (a few too many cuts on their ankles from banging into the foot board). The light fixture keeps us from truly centering it in the room, but it's close.

We were actually going to get rid of his bed altogether and had ordered him a giant crash mat. Amazon somehow managed to lose this 5 foot by 5 foot, incredibly heavy (as in nearly $40 in shipping charges) item in transit. And they also forgot to tell us about it, because they charged our credit card and we never got it. But my annoyance with Amazon isn't the point.

The point is moving the swing and making Sawyer's room a virtual gym for the twins was worth it. And Sawyer couldn't be happier with the arrangement, in case you can't tell from the video. Gives him something to do on those days when he decides 2 a.m. is a good time to be up for the day and the rest of us still think it's a good time to be sleeping.

Just another day in the life ...
