While cruising around the blog world one day last Spring, I landed here. I thought, "what a great idea, I'll add the button from Adventures in Babywearing. But I never added it, I thought with a newly turned 3-year-old at the time I was no longer a babywearer.
For the most part that is true, but I still keep my Mei Tai and ring sling close at hand for those rare opportunities. Last week was on such occasion; we were staying late at Disneyland for the Fantasmic light show in Adventure Land. Harrison was getting - understandably - tired but he didn't want to sit in his stroller, he wanted to be in my arms. Lucky for me, I had the solarveil ring sling in the stroller. I put it on and Harrison climbed into my arms and the carrier to snuggle close as we stood and waited half an hour for the show to start. It was much easier to hold him when the bulk of his weight is supported in the carrier.
Here are some pictures from a couple years ago. I never get pictures of us now since we are always on the go.
I think one of the main things I miss about Harrison getting older and not having another child is wearing him. We have a special bond together from babywearing.
So I am a babywearing blogger and proud of it!

I wanted to be a Nadia-wearer...but said Nadia never liked the sling!
This is great! My kids are 6 and 8... sometimes I miss the younger baby/toddler wearing days.
Oh...I miss that so much, too! The day I decided that Addie was too big for the sling, I nearly cried. I still end up carting her around a lot - and I don't complain too much about it! ;-)
I did that too and LOVED it. Those shots of him with you just melt my heart. Wow, the cuteness.
You were a babywearing fiend! Look at all those carriers!
I didn't get into Mei Tai's until I had Anya. It would have made my life SO MUCH EASIER had I had one with Kailan. I still have my two that I made for myself...just in case. I think I could still do them on my back if I needed to. ;)
