Oh, I wish I were a zoomy vacuum cleaner,
Oh, I wish I were a zoomy vacuum cleaner,
I would clean and I would sweep,
And I’d make my baby weep,
Oh, I wish I were a zoomy vacuum cleaner.

We too had to transition to the sleep sacks, but now wrap a velcro strap around the outside so they feel a little more snug. By the way, we aren't crafty or anything, these straps came with some sort of swaddler that we had previously purchased. Dad to preemie twins.

The best I can do is re-write Weezer's "My Name is Jonas" for my son, Jonas. Which I shouldn't do. Rivers Cuomo is much more talented than I. So, I will simply borrow your wonderful song and entertain the 3 month old that way. Witches are totally cool in my book if they can get babies to sleep. And the whole water into wine thing...

That one is most likely going to find its way into my vocabulary. So, with all of my soap boxy comments about Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, did I ever mention that I'm expecting? Number 2 will be here within the next 2 weeks, and I'm starting to get a little anxiety. Surely you don't remember, but number 1 was CRAZY colicky (for like 5 months). So I just clicked on your link and bought a miracle blanket. I remember you posting about it long ago, and had it in the back of my mind. But with babyness heading my way again so soon, I'm hedging bets on the colic, and I bought the blanket. Here's hoping colic doesn't visit us again. But if it does, here's hoping the blanket is, indeed, miraculous. If not, mind sending your mom to our house for a few months? ad annoyum. . .ha ha ha.

And hearing those clicks is very good news, very very good news. I remain hopeful that something can be done. As for the swaddle, I'm hoping some of these ideas work for us, because giganto baby has been bursting out of his swaddle and yet continues to whack himself in the face. Very crazymaking. I have him in a sleep sack, and now I'm considering putting him back in the swaddle me for a while as well, at least until he can roll back and forth better. I’m laughing so much at that song!

Love that your mother is a witch. Hope that mine will be one day, too. Can't wait. I'm sorry if I missed this, but to what tune does one sing this fantastic song?
