Meet Glen...or is it Glenda? Or maybe Gary?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new favorite item in the world of Baby Blakely. Here's the story of the one piece of baby equipment we won't leave overnight without.


One of our good friends, Candace, recently came for a visit and brought some presents for little Noah. Among these was an old school throwback, the GloWorm. Many of you will recognize this little guy from your childhood days. It seems that Hasbro has updated the old school GloWorm to be the new school necessity:

Meet Glen the GloWorm. Alright, so we're not set on Glen. Personally, I prefer the alliteration of Glen or Glenda the GloWorm but Lyndsie has put in for Gary as well. I suppose, GloWorm's name could be Gertrude for all we know. Here's what we do know though, this little guy (or gal) is a freaking life saver.

Noah is currently going through a period of time where he just refuses to go to sleep. Once he goes down for the night, he's golden until morning (or the occasional late night snack). Getting him to sleep though, that's a whole other story. Thankfully, Glen (or Glenda, Gary, or Gertrude if you prefer) is just the trick we need to get his fussies to turn into contentment.

When the GloWorm makes an appearance you would think Noah is staring into the face of Jesus himself for all of the awe he shows the stuffed, musical Godsend. Noah tracks Glen anywhere we move him and listens intently as Glen sings his sweet, sweet songs from heaven (except for Frere Jacques, he hates that one).

It's really quite amazing what this little thing is able to accomplish. Thank you Candace for the only thing that keeps us sane some evenings.
