The swaddle


Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,
for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep!


This poem always hung in my childhood home and ironically hangs in the guest room now that I always stay in when visiting my parents. I find myself reciting it in my head several times a week lately.

We had that exact same wrap for Anna. I loved it so much I bought 2 more during her infancy and bought another when Levi was born. I don't know what I'd do without them.
