new behavior for Rumi: rocking/Laurie

[Guest guest]

Laurie, thanks so much for sharing, it is really helpful.

I do a lot bouncing on a big ball with Rumi and we go outside to swing,

an inside swing would be good. I've also thought/wondered if an inside

hammock might be good? I don't know. I guess it is just try and see....

thanks again,

Ursula
