Guess what I just figured out: So my son, Landon has been screaming for 8 hours now (meaning he started at 2 am last night...so fun.) Poor kiddos. (Landon, Brandon, and myself) Sadly, we can't figure out how to help him. I have all but given up. Out of desperation I decided I would pour a bath for Landon and I. Well, the bath didn't work yet. (we haven't exactly tried it) But guess what did, the running water. Landon was screaming, and I mean screaming. The second I turned on the bath water he calmed right down. He actually almost fell asleep. Unfortunately, the bath can only hold so much water and so we had to turn the water off. And then the screaming started again.
I really wish I didn't have an aversion to wasting water or heaven knows I would just leave the water running. Poor kid, it was just so nice to hear him finally calm down and almost get some rest. I am really thinking about getting one of those sound machines. (Where does one go about getting something like that) Or maybe I will buy a little water fountain.
Maybe it was all the baths I took while pregnant with him...it must just be a familiar sound. (Much like Giada DeLaurentis' voice. I watched a lot of "Everyday Italian" while I was pregnant with him. The first time I watched the show after I had him, he was about 2 weeks, his little eyes brightened and he cocked his head like "hey, I know this voice" funny) Maybe the running bath water has the same effect. Maybe it is just familiar.
Get a fish tank. Tennis loved the sound of ours. The filter constantly runs. Just put it in his bedroom or wherever. Plus he probably would like the light and the look of the water.
ReplyDeleteHey Brit,
ReplyDeleteMy sis swears by a sound machine. I think Wal Mart might even have 'em. Funny how little things like that work, though. Love you guys!
I'm so sorry! I've actually heard that a blow dryer or fan works quite well. I hope Landon is doing better! Poor guy (and poor mommy and daddy!!)
