Roanna loved this cotbed and deemed it "a top-quality purchase". She was pleased that the gliding motion was soothing and lulled her to sleep. She also thought the design was stylish and suggested that it could be incorporated into many bedroom decors. However, she pointed out that although it's great for infants, once they reach six months old you will need to get them a bigger cot for bedside.

She also liked the fact that the sliding side panel could be moved down by one hand, which meant she could quickly answer alarms from her bed to feed or soothe her infants. The Roomie Glide also has 11 height settings, so it can be adjusted to fit almost any size bed. There are clips and straps that can be used to secure it.

5. Clair de Lune

The third and final movement of the 1890 Suite bergamasque by Claude Debussy "Clair de Lune," (French moonlight), is based on Paul verlaine's romantic poetry and offers an ethereal feeling of a smoky Italian small town.

It's a melodramatic love tale, but the music is fantastic.

Mike Mills adapted the piece for his 2009 film C'mon C'mon, in which it is played not by a piano but by the San Francisco Saxophone Quartet.
