Swinging In The Rain.

Family room Furniture typically consists of a couch, a chair or two, TV, some sort of table, maybe even a bookcase. But, ours is not your typical family room. We have 2 swings hanging from the ceiling one for Ryana and one for Kenyon, as well as the couch, TV, and book shelves. Right now Kenyon is in his swing asleep, but pushing his swing by himself to keep it going. Kenyon spent the first 3 years of his life sleeping in a standard Graco swing. Now much to big for a Graco we have worked hard to help him get comfortable in a bed at night but he still spends most of his awake time in his swing. Now for the real fun. Since he needs sensory input even while asleep, with no swinging he needs it from somewhere else. We do not have an amazing Vibro bed from a sleazy hotel room but body contact works, so Kenyon sleeps with either Randall or I each night. There are two huge problems with this solution: Randall and I rearely get to sleep in the same bed and we are now going to have to explain to Kenyon's college roommate why they have to share a bed, or we have to find a big enough swing that he can sleep in and then explain that to his room mates.
