I have this wonderful invention. It is a piece of cloth. It allows me to go anywhere, do anything, with my little one in tow. It is my sling, and next to my stroller obsession, it is my most favorite baby invention. It was a long search, but I finally found a sling that is just perfect for Gideon and I. And I wouldn't part with it for all the ergo carriers in the world. I lucked out and found it online for cheap and while the color isn't my favorite, it works so darn well. Those Ubangi women are on to something, wearing their babies all day long. Gideon and I go everywhere in our sling. I love it because I get my hands back and can get my work done. He loves it because he's up high and near momma. Stellar! Recently we went to the zoo with our good friends, the Winters, and when Gideon got a little cranky, into the sling he went. He spied on monkeys and elephants for a while and then drifted off to sleep. Lovely! This past weekend we went to a wedding and after a full day of fun, our boy was so tired and cranky. But, there was just too much fun going on for him to go to sleep. So, I broke out the sling and he soon conked out. Like baby crack, this sling is. Wonderful! It is also the only way my house gets vacuumed and mopped and my yard gets mowed. I've even been known to cook dinner in my sling and hose off the deck. It is a marvelous invention, this little tube of fabric.
Slinglings should give you a free sling for this! ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I second your remarks. The sling is wonderful. Emma is getting too big for hers, well too heavy for mama's back.
We should take advantage of the cooler weather and do the zoo again.
Oh yes, I am all over the zoo. Whenever you want to go. I heart the zoo. I'd like to see the kamodo dragons too.
ReplyDeleteYes, they should give me a free sling. They won't, but they should.
