Tranquilizer

As we all know, especially me, Lila hasn't been sleeping that well lately. We're hoping it's part of the teething and won't last much longer. Like, really hoping.

I read a lot of blogs for mommy/baby advice and have seen that a lot of parents use this little seahorse guy from Target. We've named him Sal. Unlike Gary, the gloworm, he plays music for 5 minutes straight. I don't have to sit by the swing or bassinet and constantly press his tummy. His belly lights up and he plays the softest music, some are hymns.

I tested Sal out today for her afternoon nap. A nap we haven't been taking lately. I put him in the swing with her and 1 minute later she was rubbing her eyes.

And 3 minutes later...she was alseep. She slept for 2.5 hours.

Needless to say, I love Sal. He has tranquilizing abilities that I adore. And I'm afraid Gary has been replaced.

(I don't know why I refer to all of Lila's toys as boys and give them boy names. Drew has brought this to my attention and lets me know on a daily basis that he thinks it's weird. Sorry. But the names shall stand.)
