Even Owls Go To Sleep Eventually

Once again Andy came up with a catchy tune that is sticking around. Miss Rosemary adored her swing so much that I thought it would be best to wean her out of it slowly. Since she was born she had either slept with us or in her swing and it was getting time to give it back to it's owners since they are having a baby soon. We also have Andy's family bassinet for her and were excited to use that a bit.

I'll have to think through all the steps it took to get her here. This picture is her first time in it and she did perfect. She never went back to the swing. So who knows if all those steps actually helped or if she would have transferred perfectly well cold turkey.

Rosemary's first 10 step Program, and hopefully her last:

1 - 6. There were 6 speeds on the swing and we started her out at 6. So the first 6 steps were just decreasing the speed with the white noise sounds playing.
7. Then the next was to have it off completely with the swing white noise playing.
8. In the swing, swing noise off, but an alternative noise machine on.
9. In her bassinet with the head rest from the swing around her head, with the alternative noise machine on.
10. In her bassinet, no head rest, new noise machine.

Wow. That's hilarious when you think about. It's amazing to think what a parent will do to get their kids to sleep.
