Move minions, MOVE!

Kendall already has minions. Well, she thinks she has minions. Kendall's minions are the dragon flies on the mobile of her swing. The problem is that the minions will not do her bidding.

To clarify what I am talking about. Each morning, I get Kendall up and moving and put her in the swing. While she hangs out, I go about my business cleaning and making bottles, or more likely checking my email, favorite blogs, and celebrity gossip. Kendall has a beautiful top of the line swing that matches the decor in my living room, plugs into the wall, but fails in one major aspect, the mobile does NOT spin on its own. I repeat, mom and dad have to manually turn the mobile.

So, anyway, Kendall chills in her swing and smiles and coos at the mobile. Cute right? Now here is where the minions come into play. The mobile is made up of 3 "characters", a turtle and two dragonflies. After a while, mommy gets sick of spinning said mobile and goes off to do something else. Kendall will continue to coo if Mr. Turtle is in her eye line, but if the dragonfly twins are in her sights her coos start to sound more and more like commands until it may seem like she is crying. I assure you, she is not crying, there are no tears, she is not red in the face, she is literally YELLING at the dragonflies. My assumption is that the dragonflies have wings and should therefore propel the mobile. Mr. Turtle is exempt since, after all, he is a turtle and they do not fly. Those darn dragonfly minions will NOT do her bidding, and she is pissed. This happens everyday in the same way. Happy looks at Mr. Turtle for doing the best job he can, and angry yelling at the dragonflies for slacking off.

I hate to tell her that her minions later in life will listen just about as well as the dragonflies.

Side note - Nate and I want to know why all the detail of said mobile are on the top. Check out the shell on Mr. Turtle as an example. Kendall cannot see the top, and I really don't care what her mobile looks like. Kudos on a plug in swing, fail on mobile. Lack of foresight by Fisher Price.
