Slingin'

I finally figured out how to wear AJ on my back in the wrap sling! I have read several different directions, but never really got how to do it, and never made the time to try it with Andy around to spot us. Then somehow I stumbled onto directions on YouTube! They were wonderful! If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. I did it after watching several moms demo their techniques and Andy said he didn't even need to help us. AJ gets a big kick out of it, and when he gets whiny toward dinnertime and wants to be held (right when I'm trying to make dinner, so not really an option), I have tied him on in the sling and he's happy as a clam!

Recently I babysat two children and had to get all of us to the park for AJ's park district class, so this was my impetus to figure out how to wear AJ again. I used to wear him in front, but he is far too heavy for that now. After practicing at home a few times before the babysitting date, AJ and I became pretty good at slinging again and the trip to the park and back went really well. Though I was tired, I feel good that it worked and I know I can do it again! Fun!
