Darling Jessica shows up for the first time and Anabelle makes a fool out of us by sleeping like an angel when she arrives. We warn her that she's very colicky and will likely scream her head off the entire time we are gone. We walk Jessica around the house explaining all of the ridiculous things we've come up with to calm her..."Jessica, just place the bouncer on top of the stove (burners off of course) with vibrate on and let her look at the pots and pans hanging above her. When that fails...and it will after about 2-3 minutes, take her to the swing. Place her in it as quickly as possible and immediately turn it on the highest speed with the jungle sound that has birds chirping in the background...MUST be the one with birds chirping, the regular jungle sound won't do. Once she gets fussy with that, turn on the hairdryer and place it by her head...air blowing away from her of course. When you can no longer hold the hairdryer, look behind you and hit play on the boombox which plays a recorded hairdryer that is looped, no thanks to my brilliant husband." Jessica stares at us like we are the nuttiest people she's ever seen and tells us to please just go and enjoy our party. When we return, Jessica looks exhausted and we notice the hairdryer in the middle of the room. "I thought y'all were crazy at first but you weren't kidding about the calming power of the highdryer!" she states. Somehow she keeps coming back so Jessica is either a glutton for punishment or the most patient person I've ever met! She's an angel and somehow manages to capture the one picture of your child smiling and text it to you so you think everyone is behaving perfectly...sheer brilliance! Hooray for Jessica, she loved spending time with Harper and will gladly return!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022755399526624552noreply@blogger.com
