Magical Seahorses and Strait-jackets

Lillian has a new best friend- a cute little seahorse that sings her to sleep. It has pretty music with cute bubbly noises in it and it glows when you press its tummy like a glo-worm, but better.

Lillian has this tendency to get overly tired and consequently very fussy. She hasn't quite figured out yet that she could just go to sleep and everything would feel better. However, the seahorse music will calm her down enough to let her fall asleep. She will actually fall asleep on her own!

The strait-jacket, innocently sold under the name 'swaddle me,' allows her to get multiple, continuous hours of sleep. She'll fall asleep around 9.30 pm, wake up sometime between 5.30 and 7.30 am to eat and then go back to sleep until 11 am or we decide to wake her up. I credit this to the swaddle me, since before implementation of this device, her quality of sleep was dependant on how well the blanket stayed wrapped around her.
