On-the-Job Training

So much of parenthood is on-the-job training.

"Ok, he's crying.  What can I do to distract him?"

A few days ago, Jason discovered a new hold that seems to calm down our fussy boy.



Is it because he can look at the floor, new territory for him?  Is it because he likes tummy time?  Is it because he's frightened he'll fall, so he stays very still and doesn't squirm?  Who knows, and who cares?  It works... at least for now!

He's so cute!!!

That hold did not work for either of my girls... but apparently it's the only thing that worked on ME... sorry, can't explain it for you, as I don't remember what I liked about it. LOL

Yes! This is golden :) We were very thankful for it with our fussy 2nd child.

I'll agree with Jenelle in that it doesn't magically work with all kids, but it sure is beautiful when it does!
