Rainbow Relaxation

Today was a better day for both Erica and Derek. Compared to yesterday, DJ took more naps and slept longer, giving Erica the rest and relief that she needed. The restlessness is over for now. One thing that may have helped is this track called Rainbow Relaxation. While Erica was pregnant, we took Hypnobirthing, facilitated by Carol Yeh. One of the tools in the class was using the 20-minute Rainbow Relaxation track to help us relief stress and get relaxed. Before bed, Carol suggested that we play this music. We listened to it every night for the last 3 months of Erica's pregnancy. It seems that Derek remembers the music. While he was crying this morning, Erica played Rainbow for him and he calmed down pretty quick and slept through the morning. We just discovered another tool to help our little family spend happier and less crying days.
So we gave Derek some baby gym time today and he found a new friend, Mr. Elephant. Like a good friend, DJ started eating his trunk, hehe.
