Winter Olympics XXII

So I just had to blog about Swe-Cha and this year's Winter Olympics. Last night, Swe-cha was so fussy, he wouldn't sleep and kept on crying. We tried everything that we could think of - rubbing his tummy with aceite de manzanilla, burping him, feeding him, changing his diaper and his clothes, putting him on the swing and the rocker, rocking him, swaddling him, playing music, turning on the TV.

All our efforts were for naught.

Eventually, I remembered how we were watching the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics earlier that night and how contented and calm he was while he was in his Dad's arms. Thankfully, the program is still on Tivo and we have not deleted it yet.

So we trek downstairs, turn on the TV and play the opening ceremonies again and I situated myself on the sofa with Swe-cha in my arms.

Wouldn't you know it ? He was asleep and snoring in less than a minute.

I swear! Must be even less than 30 seconds.
