Who would have thought that this strange looking stuffed worm would turn into my sons favorite thing ever?? "Hermie the Wormie" as he has been named (Hermie for short), will glow and play a lullaby when his tummy is pressed. A friend of mine from high school gave Nathan Hermie for his first birthday and I am SO grateful for it. Nathan has four molars coming in right now, which means my baby is extra cranky and extra clingy. Two nights ago, as I was getting in bed, I began preparing myself for his typical middle of the night teething cries. And low and behold, at 1:21 a.m. he proved me right. But, the crying literally lasted 2 seconds because my GENIUS little boy found Hermie in his crib. He pressed his tummy, and laid back down. As soon as the lullaby was over, he would pop his little head back up and press Hermie's tummy again. This process went on for a total of 30 minutes. How do I know this?? I watch him on the video monitor.....the entire time. And in my groggy state, I was so convinced that our son was quite possibly the smartest baby alive.
So, thank you Beca for buying him Hermie, and thank you Nathan for being smart enough to use it. Maybe tonight I will actually get some sleep.
