Sunny Fall Evening

It was warm and sunny this evening, so we went on a brief walk outside.  Elias wanted to ride in the Beco, so we thought it was a good opportunity to try out the new drool/suck pads that I made him.  When he falls asleep in the Beco, his face rests on the hard buckles. When he is awake, he likes to suck on the buckles.  To overcome both of these problems, I made some pads to wrap around the buckles that have flannel on the outside so that they are soft against his face and terry cloth on the inside so that they are absorbent.  Elias loves looking at plaid patterns right now so that is an extra bonus.  Once again, Granny's sewing machine came in very handy as I worked on this project.  I think they are going to work very well!
