Ode to the Yoga Ball

Oh how we'll miss you, you big orange ball.
Endless nights we bounced soothing it all
Screaming and wailing give way to quiet slumber.
Oh, yoga ball you're the world's wonder.
I can't believe your day is done.
You're all he needed, our little one.
Away in some closet alone you will be.
Oh yoga ball, how we've loved thee.

The yoga ball has retired.  It's services are no longer needed.  My little guy has learned how to fall asleep and be comforted without the use of his yoga ball.  I realized just a few nights ago that the yoga ball had been sitting in a quite little corner of Ethan's room for a few weeks now, going unused.  Last night the yoga ball returned to the living room ready to resume its original position as exercise device.  I wonder how we would've survived all those crying fits without the help brought about by the exercise ball.  At least we're left with the comfort of knowing our baby has learned how to soothe himself.  Let's take a moment of silence to honor the special moments of the yoga ball...
