Why we got one at home

Sofia in her new birthday swing at home.

I guess a swing might sound like a strange present for a one year old on their birthday. Well, swings are much loved things of our childhoods, and if Sofia's face is anything to go by we deduce that it will be something that brings her great joy too!

Sofia swinging in Cornwall Park last week.



The Swing

How do you like to go up in a swing? Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, Rivers and trees and cattle and all over the countryside--

Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown - Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!

- Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
