Thank God for showers

Right up there with Columbus' finding of the New World, the discovery of penicilin and the uncovering of the Dead Sea Scrolls was our discovery of an invaluable treasure over the weekend. We learned simply by dumb luck that the sound of a running shower INSTANTANEOUSLY transforms our son from a screaming, hysterical, inconsolable wreck to a quiet angel whose face resembles the look I had every time I sat through an 8:00 am lecture in college. It looks something like this:

I'm pretty sure that half the Delaware River has run through our shower head over the past 4 days but I don't care. I wouldn't care if nuclear waste was pouring out of there, if it makes him quiet, I'll take it.
Actually, it looks like we may need to have an visit to the shower very soon.

nice disovery. someone recommended one of those white noise sound machines to us to help the babies sleep and its a nice addition. probably the same idea.

Fans, vacuum cleaners, or "soothing ocean sounds" should work as well. Why do you think that we Delps are all dependent on having a fan when we sleep? It's probably the only thing that soothed us when we were babies. Right mom?? :)
