The other day, I put Nathan in his exersaucer to play. I could hear him banging away at the toys on the tray and talking to the different pieces. After a few minutes, however, all noises coming from his bedroom ceased. I peeked in to see what he had gotten into when I saw that he had fallen asleep while standing up in his exersaucer!
He took a quick, 10 minute catnap. When he woke up, he was refreshed and giddy with Good Mood. Good Mood is a great thing for a baby to have, believe me.
He seriously loves that exersaucer. I think he would totally live inside it if he could. And I’m happy with that because he’s learning all kinds of things… shapes, sounds, textures, etc.
And a happy baby means a happy house.
Wow, and here I’ve been trying to get Tankbaby to sleep lying down. Clearly, I’m going about this all wrong.

Nathan certaintly doesn’t take after me in that regard. I have to be laying down in a dark room with a fan on and lots of blankets. Nathan? Nathan can sleep standing up in his exersaucer. With the light on! But yet, when I try to get him to take his conventional naps, he wants to stay awake!
Ours loved their exersaucer (or Supersaucer or what have you) too. For a while it was the only way I could get a shower in when they were little. Such adorable pictures.

Totally!! It’s the only time I really have a chance to get dishes done or whatnot because he’ll play in his exersaucer when nothing else can appease him!
