A love for the swing

Brayden has shown a real interest in the swing of late. He will often approach me and say, "You push me in the swing Mara". He sure can spend a very sustained amount of time being pushed backwards and forwards.

Not only does he like the teachers pushing him, but also other children pushing. He doesn't mind sharing the swing with a couple of other children - he will often laugh and giggle with them. If I need to help another child outside though, Brayden gets upset that I'm not pushing him anymore (that's how much he loves the swing!!!!). "Come back", he will say.

I think Brayden finds the swing very soothing and relaxing, which doesn't surprise me as some children have been known to fall asleep in the swing.
