Crazy, intense five month old daycare baby...

[nextcommercial]

I have a daycare boy who is about 5 and a half months.

He's very intense and physical. He can crawl, roll, kinda sit up... but, he falls over.

Even all of this isn't enough for him. He loves to be bounced, thrown, hung upside down, swung...etc. The more physcally abusive you are the happier he is. He wants to jump so bad he can barely stand it.

He sees something he wants...even if it's impossible to get to, it's his his life's work to get it. His enthusiasm for his new project is very impressive.

Anyway... My tired old brain needs ideas to give him something physical, fun, and yet safe that he will enjoy. He prefers non safe objects. You should see the way he dives for the knife drawer when I'm holding him.

I know he would LOVE a Johnny jumper, but, I don't really have any good doorways to hang it in... and I'm a little afraid of those anyway.

You can get a jumparoo! My daughter LOVES it!

For around 30 bucks they have some that don't attach to the doors. My son had one and LOVED it so much. Omgosh it was so funny to watch him in it. Then I lent it to a friend and she trashed it and I didn't get to use it for DS2. I'll prolly get one for this new baby too.

OMYGOSH! He would be insane in that thing!! I bet if I look, I can find one on Craigslist, then resell it after he's done. He would probably be so happy in something that had bunjees!

Is it like the jumperoo that the pp posted? I looked that up, and it would take up a lot of space, but he'd have a blast.

Probably yeah. It takes up the same space as an excersaucer so it can be super annoying. But my kid was nuts and that just helped him work it all out
