You, the nice people who told me that I would appreciate having the baby in our bedroom at night, you were SO right! Like most babies, Alice is a bit like a hamster. She sleeps for hours during the day but at night she can be pretty active. Thankfully, my mom managed to solve our little problem and introduce us to a great "village" heirloom.After a few phone calls, she relocated the handmade wooden bassinet that I used as a baby...31 years ago! The first baby who got to sleep in it was in 1976. Under the bassinet, handwritten with black ink, is a long list of all the kids who used it. Alice will be baby 36!
Merci maman xox

Wow, that is really a nice tradition! F's parents have kept the crib he used as a baby, and we might use it for our child.
That second picture is priceless!
What's a wondeful little slice of history - and Alice looks very at home in it!
That's a super cool bassinet! Will it go back to the village for another round of kiddies or is it yours to keep?
