Wait, is that a dingo?
Have to wonder which of the two (suspensori) trod in the other’s effluent more frequently
As tricks go, that one made me sad.
Looks like the kid is having a blast! Very happy baby.
Put two goats on the other two corners, and you take care of lawn mowing as well.
This would be handy to keep me homebound when I decide to drink at the barbecue.
And thus was an awesome short story begun.

Obligs:
In the fine baby book What’s Going On In There? written by a neuroscientist, the author describes a six-week twice-a-week experiment with three groups of babies; one handed to a researcher in a spinny chair to get spun around for a bit, one with no intervention, and one handed to a researcher but not taken for a spin. (Thorough!) By the end, the spun babies were measurably ahead by whatever age-appropriate metric – sitting up, crawling, walking, etc. They like getting spun like this because it’s good training for their vestibular (inner ear) systems!
The book also mentions a study comparing cultures where babies are carried on backs, thereby shaken all around, vs. transported smoothly by stroller. Yep, it’s better if they get the vestibular stimulation that comes from being carried.
