A Breastfed, Cloth Diapered Baby’s Sleepy Prayer | #clothdiapers #breastfeeding

Two more cloth diapers to the pile she'll take. To go back to sleep it's more milk for me. I don't think I'll tell her, I just had to pee.

Oddly Impressive Sing-A-Ma-Jig Ensemble! | Bizarre Toy and Man Duet

I was first introduced to Sing-a-ma-Jigs earlier this year, when one of my doula client's (turned BFF) son was gifted one of these very odd and borderline creepy toys!

(I think I'm going to go ahead and get The Gurtle just to see if I can harmonize with it, too!)
