any port in a storm

any port in a storm

Part of the fun of traveling with irene to boston was going out and about, but a significant portion ended up being ad-hoc sleeping situations i'd "craft" for her after she'd eat or if she got super cranky.

At this point, irene was still very swaddle-able, so all i needed to do was wrap her up, rock her a bit, and then down she'd go.

critical to most of these was a portable speaker that played white noise for her. Then i'd set her on top of a soft blanket or something i had stashed in her diaper bag.

on a beanbag at csail in the uid group offices

on the floor, again at kennedy school

another time at the same floor, at the kennedy school

in the main residency room

in a hallway at the kennedy school

sometimes i'd set her in the hallway where it was a bit dimmer, so that she'd have a longer sleep.

on a table, at the course 1 post-hooding lunch

after the phd hooding ceremory at mit, i was invited to a course 1 lunch, so i multitasked a bit by setting her down on the table while i ate.

i think it worked out pretty well, overall.
