The Park is More Fun if You Sleep in a Crib

Dear Eleanor,

I know you're probably not thinking about all of the fun you'll have at the park in the spring when you can hold your own head up, but trust me when I say, the park is more fun if you sleep in a crib.  Your brother shared your affinity for sleeping in the swing-  until he was 8.5 months-old, in fact.  As a result, every time we went to the playground, he would fall asleep in the swings, instead of having fun like the other kids.  You don't want to be that kid.  Other mommies will laugh at you (and by default, at me).

Love,

Mommy
