In the DBB

[Guest guest]

Well, I just thought that I would let you all know that Sammy is

finally in the DBB. It hasn't been too hard -- yet. But, it hasn't

been too easy either. He definitely doesn't care for it right now,

but that is to be expected. Last night, I put him to bed at his

normal time and he fell right to sleep. It seemed like things would

go great. Then 3am rolled around and that was a different story. We

will survive though. At least I know that he's not crying because

he's in pain -- at least I hope that he isn't.

I can tell that we are going to have to start all over with this

rolling over business. That is a little disappointing -- especially

since he just seemed to master it this past weekend. Hopefully he

will catch up to where he was quickly. He does sit up better

though. I think having both of his legs flat helps.

Sam was quite the kicker but now he won't move his legs ever since

the DBB went on him. When I try bending them together, he even

straightens them like he doesn't want to move them. I do wonder if

perhaps his leg muscles in his left leg are sore from being in a cast

the first six months of his life. He has never really used that leg,

so that might take some adjusting to too.

wanted to see his foot when I got home last night, but I was

very leary of taking the DBB off until he has gotten used to it. Did

you guys leave it on or did you take it off every day right after you

got it? I don't want him to get sores on his feet. Also, that

blister that that little guy got brings bad things to mind.

One thing that I do know is that we are going to have to invest in

some of those shoe lace tie keepers. Our little guy has already

figured out how to untie his shoes. He was sitting in my lap this

morning playing with the loops and voila! Shoes untied! At least

some part of this thing is a toy! Do those of you with older kids in

the DBB have a problem with them getting out of it a night? That has

been a curiosity of mine for a while. Of course, I don't know how

well two year olds are at unbuckling shoes but when there's a will,

there's a way.

Well, I better go for now. I'm sure today promises to be a cranky

day when Sam wakes from his nap, so I better use my time without a

crying baby wisely. Take Care!
