Night Night Peter Rabbit is a beautifully crafted cloth book with cuddly-soft Peter Rabbit characters, there are a whopping total of 6 pages in all!. Each page is decorated with a sewn-on Peter Rabbit character doing some form of action, with a simple phrase to accompany that action (e.g. ‘Nibble Nibble’ or ‘Quack Quack’). This is a great introduction to Peter Rabbit and all his friends, and definitely fits our particular nursery theme (Beatrix Potter)

I’ve read it to my son a couple of times, and he enjoys snuggling up to the fleecy-pages (He’s 2 1/2 months old). He also likes watching me repeat the phrases a dozen times… I hope this doesn’t mean that his first words will be “nibble nibble”. This book is aimed at the newborn-18 months age range.

Good Points:
+ The book can double up as a burp cloth if none are available
+ It could also double up as a warm blanket
+ It is probably machine washable, though I haven’t tested this
+ Cute and simple

Not so Good Points:
- Maybe a little on the pricey side (but quality is excellent)

I don’t have anything against classical music, I agree with the experts that it probably develops brain cells and such, but I don’t personally go out of my way to listen to it – to make up for any loss of IQ I’ll make sure to include plenty of (non-Chinese) fish into his diet when he’s a little older.

I don’t think this will send me to sleep, so I’ll be able to report on the results in a few days.

Daddy hasn’t had a full night’s sleep since July 19 – that’s 61 days and counting - but he expected that!  I’ve said this before elsewhere, expecting interrupted nights and experiencing interrupted nights are two completelydifferent items, and it does take some getting used to.  Hey – guess what!? I don’t mind waking up at 4 A.M. armed with a bottle to feed Mr. Hungry Mungry!  If I am still awake at 5:30 A.M. I may be revising that train of thought, but that has rarely happened.  My record of the time spent from the second I jump out of bed to the second I jump back into bed, which I am quite proud of is under 30 minutes!  I don’t have an official time-keeper on hand so I can’t offer you the exact split.

Hopefully, sometime soon (like this decade),  I may be able sleep from 10:30 – 6:30 without an interruption, but if I do, will my body be able to cope with the extra rest??
