my salvation-an exercise ball

[farmgirl]

my husband cracked up when he came downstairs where I had been running on the treadmill-our 5 wk old baby boy decided he was hungry and I wasn't very close to a chair so I sat on my exercise ball and nursed. Then when it was burping time-we bounced, and he loved it! I had just turned on one of Cathe's dvds and chris couldn't see the TV screen-he thought me bouncing on the ball was the workout!
but it is wonderful for when John is crying and nearly inconsolable, the basement is cooler (he gets hot and turn purple when he raging!), dark and quiet...but the motion of bouncing in the ball just stops him right now! What a versatile piece of exercise equipment!
have a great day!

We use ours all the time to console our little one. BONUS....it's fun to bounce on too!!

I've never tried it with Brooke - I bet she would love it. I'll try it tomorrow - I think she's cutting her first tooth so she's a bit fussy and high maintenance right now so we'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip
