International Babywearing Week is October 8 – 14, and you *know* we love our babywearing around here! Mommy wore me at the Pumpkin Blaze on Saturday night, and I still frequently choose riding on her back over the stroller, given the choice.
In honor of the occasion, we have a multimedia extravaganza today: first a song (well, lyrics – you’ll have to sing along in your head), and then a quick video. Later in the week, I’ll be posting a head-to-head comparison of a Baby Bjorn and an Ergo.
Without further ado (and with many, many apologies to Sir-Mix-A-Lot), here is Baby on Back:
I like being worn and I cannot lie
You other toddlers can’t deny
That when a mommy walks in with a sling on her waist
And a smile on her face
You jump up
You other toddlers can’t deny
That when a mommy walks in with a sling on her waist
And a smile on her face
You jump up
Wanna get on her back
‘Cause you notice that baby was tucked
Deep in the Moby she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
‘Cause you notice that baby was tucked
Deep in the Moby she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh Mommy, bring your BabyHawk
‘Cause I prefer not to walk
That stroller tried to tempt me
But that sling you got makes me so comfy
‘Cause I prefer not to walk
That stroller tried to tempt me
But that sling you got makes me so comfy
Ooh, mile-long-piece-of-cloth
You say you gotta Girasol?
Well, use it, use it
‘Cause you ain’t that average mommy
You say you gotta Girasol?
Well, use it, use it
‘Cause you ain’t that average mommy
I’m tired of magazines
Sayin’ Bugaboos are the thing
Take the average toddler and ask him that
She gotta pack much wraps

So, babies! (Yeah!) Babies! (Yeah!)
Has your Mommy got the stash? (Heck yeah!)
Tell ’em to wear you! (Wear you!) Wear you! (Wear you!)
Wear you every day!
Baby on back!

Yeah, so now you know that Mommy and I are major dorks. But, wait! That’s not all for today! We also put together a cheesy little video for your enjoyment:
Oh my gosh, totally made my day. You guys are HYSTERICAL :oD
This made me laugh so much! I was hoping the video at the end was a performance of the song though. :p
