Joash loves the swivel chair. Not just to push it around or spin it with his hands. He loves to be on it while someone spins it! It's a long story why we let him do such a dangerous thing...
Ever since I was pregnant, I needed a long time to wake up. No longer could I jump right out of bed and wash up within 5 mins, ready to meet the challenges of the new day immediately. Now, I have to slowly wake up, sit up on the bed for a while, drink ovaltine with my multi-vitamins before I attempt to wash up. Or else, I would feel sick. So Joshua had to take the first shift of the day when Joash wakes up. After feeding him breakfast and changing him out of his PJs, Joshua will bring Joash into our room to prepare to go to work. Most of the time, I would still be in the process of 'waking up' so neither of us could entertain Joash during that 15 mins.
At first, we would put him on the swivel chair to keep him from playing with things he shouldn't play with. (eg. wires, body lotion, ring, watches and other electronic nick-nacks) But when he started trying to climb out of the chair, we accidentally discovered that he'll stay put while the chair was spinning, albeit slowly at the beginning. So that became our strategy to keep him occupied.
Eventually, we started spinning the chair faster and faster since he enjoys it so much and has never seemed in danger of falling off before. Thus, like it or not, this became our morning ritual.
