I saw a picture of a baby gym on the internet and loved the idea of hanging ribbons and scarves and other fun objects from it. I asked Dr. Peds if he might have a dowel in the basement that I could use between two pieces of furniture or something like that, and when I showed him a picture of what inspired me, he said, “I can probably make that.”

Later that day he was visiting his friend Grandpa Bob, and when Bob saw the picture he said “Let’s make it right now!” So the two of them constructed the perfect baby gym out of scrap wood, and a dowel that we already had and Dr. Peds brought it home.

Peanut Maximus actually loves it! My little guy who can barely tolerate not being picked up and held has been spending chunks of time lying on the floor wiggling those ribbons while he kicks his feet and bats his arms. He appreciates a face in the picture, so every few minutes someone leans over and talks and smiles with him. It has been fabulous.
