If you can't use the arms, then be creative!

Daniel spends some of his time each day in his little green baby-sized seat, and one of the things that Joy has decided that she likes is to put the arch on the seat and swing the toys around for him. He has become quite captivated by these swinging toys, but still doesn't have enough control over his hands and arms to move the toys himself. Never fear, though - today he showed his problem-solving skills when he discovered and capitalized on the fact that if he kicks his legs vigorously, all three toys will swing wildly.


Even though it was close to his naptime, he entertained himself for a good 15-20 minutes kicking his legs. You can see from the picture that he's pretty concentrated on watching the toys. Fun times, for both father and son.
