"It's Complicated"

Maggie is currently experiencing her first love/hate relationship. With whom, you might ask? The bright green turtle featured on her new swing.

We purchased Maggie a swing last week, hoping it would help calm her down during her fussy period every evening. The swing is cute and brightly colored, with a turtle, a fish, and a whale hanging from the mobile. Maggie can enjoy peppy music at the push of a button, or, with the push of another button, she can listen to a relaxing tune. She can also opt for nature sounds. Maggie seems to enjoy all of this, but she is still not quite sure about that turtle.

Half the time, she stares at her turtle friend with a smile on her face, arms waving excitedly. The other half of the time, she screams bloody murder, her eyes locked on the turtle. The poor girl looks scared to death. I'm not sure why the turtle elicits such varied responses, but one thing is for sure: he is not going unnoticed.
