Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit

The pink sleepsuit arrived, and well before the promised 8 pm delivery time (thank you, Amazon--the $8.99 shipping charge was worth it!). 

Ford napped in it this evening, and it only took 8 minutes of fussing/crying and me re-inserting his (new, different kind of) pacifier for him to fall asleep.

He looked quite comfortable once he fell asleep, and I was interested to find out what would happen. I often think he needs an early evening "refresher" nap, which is what this was, and I was hoping the sleepsuit wouldn't be so magic that he would think it was bedtime and sleep until 4 am, ready to go for the day.

Thankfully, he only slept about 45 minutes, which is good for an early evening nap. I had run out to CVS after he was asleep, and Chet texted me when  he woke up:

This picture may come back to haunt you, but you asked for it, buddy (by refusing to sleep). Mommy loves you.

(Stay tuned to find out whether or not the sleepsuit works at night.)

He's used to his pink sleepsuit now -- I ordered him a blue one earlier this week (it's best to have two, so one can be washing)...hopefully he's not TOO used to pink! ;-)
