The Bouncy Seat Narcotic

I started teaching piano again when Benson was almost 2 months. Holding him in my arms while teaching was a little bit tricky, but he wasn't happy any other way. And then, we discovered The Bouncy Seat. He would hang out there for an hour while I taught two piano lessons and be perfectly happy and playful.

Lately, however, we are thinking it is more like a drug, because Benson will stay happy in it longer than anything else. Is this normal? During the last half hour of a three lesson stretch last week he even fell asleep. With a six year old playing a lovely rendition of Jingle Bells. Only a drug could do that. So, we are trying to lower the Bouncy Seat time, and try to get the "happy times" to last longer doing other things.
