I Scoff[ed]
I did. I really did. Until today.
There are so many baby accessories, it's absurd. There are these velcro blankets that's they call swaddlers - to help you swaddle your baby. I thought it was pretty ridiculous. I mean, what does it take to swaddle your baby? Geesh.
And then I met baby thrasher, I mean, my son Liam. Liam, who hasn't slept in his bassinet for at least 3 weeks. At All. Which we thought was due to his acid-reflux.
Then my sister-in-law, Melissa, gave us her old swaddler blanket. Mark, lover of gadgets, figured out how to use it and put Liam in it. He looks like a bean burrito. But ya' know what?
He's asleep. And it's not on me. (do you see the heavens open, light streaming down and a chorus singing "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"? Or is that just me?)
I am duly repentant.

Doh! I am too late!
I found a cool baby-thingy which does the swaddle thing with a zipper. Like, you put the baby in and then zip and the baby is swaddled.
Swaddled totally sounds like some kind of pirate term, by the way.
But I have this thing, and need to mail it. I was going to send it home with Mendon and Kristen, but they can't come, so I'll just have to bring it in July.
