When Ada was young she loved to be swung. She didn't care if it was in her car seat, our arms, or any other box she could sit in. Recently she has re-discovered this joy.
We have a laundry basket in our kitchen that usually houses a helium balloon that Ada treats as a pet. We call the laundry basket the balloon house. However, when she lets the balloon loose, the laundry basket is available for free rides on the Daddy mobile.
She sits in her basket, puts on her demanding scowl, furrowed eyebrows and all, and say 'Daddy, 'Daddy', and either pulls Elliot's hands down to the handles of the basket or points to the handles with emphasis. And being the greatest dad in the whole world, Elliot will lift her up, take her on a trip around the kitchen, and then gently give her a soft peaceful landing. And all along Ada's giggles tell the tale of pure joy; and her smile tells the tale of satisfaction at once again getting Daddy to do just what she wants.
