Its been a documented fact that Joshua as a baby slept well but after making the change into the toddler bed he developed into a terrible sleeper and many nights have been spent from both of us having to sleep on his bedroom floor.
When we were recently asked to take a look at Russell I was super excited at the prospect of something that may help Joshua be calmer when he wakes if nothing else but in honesty that is all I had expected.
When Russell arrived he was a lovely size and seemed very well made, his control panel is located in his bum and is securely fastened via velcro. There are several options on the control unit, loud or quiet on the sound, a voice recorder which allows you to either record your voice or like me I recorded a lullaby, this function allows you to record up to 4 minutes of voice recordings or music.
So here is how we found Russell:
I think that Russell is a lovely addition to the already well-loved Ewan and with some fantastic features:
- Soft blue and green light show ‘glow’ lasts for 30 minutes
- Record personal message, story or song up to 4 minutes long
- Playback of recording is looped 8 times to give 32 minutes of comforting sound
We loved Russell and for one lucky reader they will get to try out Russell’s puppy charm too as the lovely folks at Sweet Dreamers are allowing me to give one away!
So what are you waiting for .. There is a Russell The Dream Sheepdog waiting for a new home!
Good luck
