amanda_loddenYesterday I stopped and picked up some baby toys, in a desperate attempt to stop the screaming.
For those who are suddenly confused and wondering if it could possibly have been nine months since you've seen me (and yes, it could have been), it's not my kid. He belongs to two of my employees, and since I'd like to keep both of them and get useful work out of them, there is a 3-month-old in the office a couple days a week. (Daycare would be another option if his parents got paid a decent wage, but we're still running a bit tight on cash flow.)
The bouncy saucer seems to be a hit, though I can't tell who likes it better, the baby or his mother. It's got a ring of toys around it, but at 3 months he's not quite focused enough to really play with them, so right now it's just something to bounce in. And it doesn't help any of the "I'm tired" crying. But it was still worth the $6 I paid for it at the Salvation Army store.
