Update
Eloise, our little firecracker, has slept in her crib all night un-swaddled for the past three nights! Yes, she’s still woken up crying several times in the night, but we haven’t had to go in there, and she’s put herself to sleep each time. I can’t tell you how proud we are.
(It’s easy to take for granted our little Julian who continues to sleep blissfully through the night, unperturbed by all of the activity in the crib next to him. We think he’ll actually be more of a challenge to wean from the swaddle, but for now he’s content, and so are we.)
Thanks also for all of the helpful suggestions of rainy-day activities. I’m hoping the weather will just be completely awesome for the rest of the spring and summer so I won’t have to use any of them, but in the unlikely event that it, you know, rains in Providence during April and May, I’ll give them a shot.

Yay for both babies!
Wahoo!
wonderful news! the Peke Moe might be helpful for Julian in the future – http://www.pekemoe.co.nz
all the best to you!!
way to go ellie! i knew you could do it.
freeing julian from the swaddling blanket probably won’t be too bad. he’ll probably just assert his desire for more freedom, and that will be it.
