New woolie

Since my second child I've always had the desire to buy a fresh new woolie for each new baby. My first born did not get a woolie (probably couldn't have afforded one even if I'd known what I could have done with it anyway.) I love em though! They are water resistant, and natural, and don't retain smell from icky spills. The first two I bought were rather large pieces. And the girls still use them today as throw rugs in their room. I just shake them off or vacuum them once in a while...and every now and then (maybe once a year....or less) I wash it in wool wash and hang it to dry in the sun.

Thursday, at Ikea, I saw little woolies. They were a bit smaller and lighter than the other two, but for about 1/3 the price. And I thought I could put that in a car seat, or a stroller....or all sorts of places the baby might go. So the new baby has a woolie now too.

And my current baby is now in a big girl bed. A feat that was less than easy because we decided to turn an old yard sale find into a bed...the hard way. More on that later...or maybe not I'd rather forget all about that now.
