After several days of struggling with what to do with Linus to keep him entertained, Dave built Linus a little chair and table! A big shout out to our neighbor Brandon who helped by donating his time, tools and design know-how, and to Joy&#8217;s parents for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cutelittlechurch.com\/joyship\/chair\/\">sharing their designs<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from needing to decorate it, we&#8217;re pretty much finished with the construction. <\/p>\n<p>The table is a wood top that is mostly protected with contact paper. The corners have soft bumpers attached, and the edges have a little railing that helps prevent toys from rolling off. The table has five legs for added stability, and a &#8220;U&#8221; shaped cut out. The cutout is the most important feature. A baby in a spica cast cannot lean forward at all. The cutout allows the child access to a greater surface for playtime.   <\/p>\n<p>The chair features unique supports that put the child&#8217;s weight on the cast, not the diaper area. It has a wide, &#8220;toe-friendly&#8221; base that keeps the chair stable. The child is secured to the chair using a buckled strap or bungee cord. <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a baby in a spica cast, let me tell you that no one in your house is going to be happy unless you have a decent place to put the youngster.
