Krassi post script

I forgot to mention that Krassi likes to swing. ;) This is Reuben's swing (one of the perks of having a younger brother who has special needs himself is that there is already equipment like this around!) and is a great size for Krassi and has the full harness he needs for stability. I wasn't sure what he would think, so we started easy, but he loved it and fussed when I finally took him out!

One of the downsides of having a younger brother like Reuben is that there is no. way. that Reuben can see Krassi using this swing unless I'm prepared to handle the onslaught of self-aggression that will arise in Reuben. Reuben is very set in his ways, and asking to go out and swing is one of the few things that he's able to communicate through his own made-up signs combined with vocalizations, and he would not be cool with someone else in his swing. This means we will swing on afternoons when Reuben naps. ;) I'm pleased so far with the level of care that Reuben is showing toward Krassimir and don't want to give him reason to discontinue that. Maybe once we have a few more weeks under our belts I'll think about asking Reuben is he would like to give Krassi a turn to try his swing.
