Why I "Wear" My Baby

* It lets me hold him but still have my hands free to take care of Cadence, cook, supper, do laundry, run around the living room in circles (seriously... don't ask), etc...

* I have neck and back problems, so if I hold him very long any other way, I hurt really bad. This lets me hold him without hurting.

* It puts him to sleep. Almost every time. Even at the grocery store. Even at church.

* It lets me grocery shop without having to try to keep him happy in his carseat - which he does not appreciate.

* It makes random strangers say how cute and snuggly he looks.

* It makes the teenage boy sacking my groceries say he can't wait to have a baby so he can wear it - not to save his back, not to have his hands free but, "So everyone in the store will stop me and tell me how cute and snuggly my baby looks!"

* It's the only thing that calms him down when he gets started screaming!

Oh, that is funny. Gabriel wears one of the babies he babysits. It's actually very convenient. Keeps your arms from going numb.
