Was the swing on high power? (I think someone on here called it "the puree setting"). That's too funny. Vietbabe hated that electronic swing. My sister's second loved to sleep in the "bucket" that goes into the infant car seat. She'd carry the bucket into the nursery and leave her strapped in it and she'd sleep in it all night. My grandmother would FREAK when she saw my Sister do that but it worked. I tried that once for a nap (brought the bucket into the nursery and left her in it for her nap) and she woke up all sweaty and really pissed. The only really bad idea I had was once when I decided Vietbabe was too tired for her swim class and turned around and took her home and put her in for a nap, still wearing her "swimmy diaper." Bad move. Those things don't "breathe" and after a 3 hour nap she had a diaper rash that bled. I felt like the worst parent ever.
By the way, Vietbabe has had a few doozy tantrums of late and twice now I have been unable to strap her into the car seat at all (those kids will not bend no matter how much you want them to). She just locked her legs and that was it. An hour later, we're still sitting in the car in the hardware store parking lot, with me trying to get her into the car seat. And she's only 21 lbs. What the heck do you do in those situations????
