Sling Swing


After the third speck of metal magically appeared in P's eye, E and I went into seek mode. We had theories for the first two specks (the airplane that was jammed into an ice patch, the scooter wheel that whirred by his left eye). They all went out the window with the third mishap. The house was searched from tip to tail. At which point, we realized almost everything we own is second hand metal that scrapes, bangs and sheds scraps.... During our detailing, P overheard us pondering the metal swing swivel that rubs against the metal swing clamp. We discussed the resulting dust and determined it to be too small to become a Speck. But from that moment on, P wouldn't swing with his eyes open :( Sad and pitiful, yes. But also dangerous since his head veers towards the wall corner with regularity :) So we chatted about it, reassured him. No go. (Understandably) he was taking No Chances. So the next day P and I brainstormed and took down the swing. His baby wrap became his new sling swing and he Luuuuuuvs it. The kid can twirl at light speeds and fly with the greatest of ease. And he can do it all wrapped in stretchy (metal speck free) comfort. Whenever my camera gets better, I'll post a video for laughs :)
