Oh how I love swings! Oh how I wish we had swings here, there and everywhere! Not only do I love the action of swinging on a tall bouncy swing, the sound of the music, and watching the dance, but I love how the word sounds too! ooh…. and I so especially want a tall swing on a tree!

This made me giggle… It’s so cute to think of a preemie developing this valiant skill!
