Have you ever heard of a rice sock?
My kids love them. They can't sleep without them. They drag them to the park with us. And they usually make it to the breakfast table, too.
It's getting a little crazy.
(And gross).
I made one for Adam when he had an ear infection in December, and it helped him get through the first rough nights. And days.
Even those he's completely done with his ear infection, he still sleeps with a warmed rice sock every night, and a few weeks ago, Grace insisted on having one, too. They sleep cuddled with them every night.
It's just sweet.
Basically, it's an old (clean) sock filled with rice, heated in the microwave for 1 minute. We also have one in the freezer, for all of the bumps and bruises that tend to occur (a lot) with us.
I really want to make it official and make them both rice pillows using this tutorial, but I haven't found the time yet.
Maybe for Valentine's day.
They would LOVE that!

What a timely post...Hailey might have an ear infection and she is complaining that it really hurts. Scott brought over their oil of oregano and I made her a rice sock. Hopefully we can avoid a trip to the doctor.
I love all the cute things you find to do with your kids!
