The Secret Vivi Napping Formula.
Rocking out while sleeping in.
Unfortunately because of the law of baby…that being as soon as you figure the little critters out they go and change things on you…upon publishing this post she is going to decide the way I do things now is stupid and dumb and force me to figure out a whole new routine.
So for now. The magical solution that tricks Vivi into napping for longer than 10 minutes at a time.
Mumford and Sons channel.
Nothing special added to it.
Just Mumford and Sons and all the music that Pandora feels fits in with the Mumford’s musical genome.
What? Did you think I was going to say it was some fantastic product, trick or swaddle magic? It’s not. It’s just good music. I’ve tried white noise machines, swaddling, swings, shooshing, rocking, classical music, no music and me singing. None of it works as well as the Avett Brothers, W.G. Walden, Sia, Ray LaMontagne, Adele and of course Mumford.
I’ve considered paying for the subscription to Pandora so Vivi’s chill isn’t ruined by Wendy’s commercials but as I said, now that I’ve admitted this? Vivi’s going to demand some crap like Anne Murray. Hold me.
Any sneaky tricks for getting your kids to nap? Promise I won’t tell them you told me, thus throwing off the force.

Jenn commented on Sep 13 11 at 9:15 amHey now, don’t you step on Anne Murray. That woman brought us “Danny’s Song” and WE SHOULD ALL GIVE HER THANKS.
Heather of the EO commented on Sep 13 11 at 5:01 pmI DON’T KNOW. Elsie keeps changing it on me too. She’s very tired. Which makes her more awake. So yeah…I’m not helping…
JennBo commented on Sep 14 11 at 12:38 amSo funny! I gave my husband the mumford & sons CD quite some time ago and just recently got it on my iPod. The two times I’ve played it (this week), my little one (3 months old), just zonked out. So, I whole-heartedly agree. Mumford & Sons is baby magic (wonder how THEY feel about that). In any case, I’m going to have to check out the pandora channel. Thanks for the tip! xo Jenn
