First Flip Video

Hubby - this one's for you.

For everyone else, I promise better quality (more interesting) videos coming soon. Needed to get something up tonight and this is the best footage I have so far. BTW - this is the magical Mr. Sun (which is actually a star).

Cheers.

Dad Saves the Day

To close the loop on last week's crisis, all is right in the world again. Dad found Mr. Sun (which is actually a star, oatmeal brain) in Bloomington, IL on Friday. The story goes that he was in BRU (Babies R Us), in his suit, in between sales meetings, explaining to the sales associates what he needed - the Disney Baby Einstein play gym with motion-activated star. Once located, he actually made the gals take out the star to confirm it was the exact one we were replacing.

Ben is noticeably more cheerful on his new playmat - it has some other cool upgrades too - but the star is really the winner. He is kicking away and making music once more.

Is hubby an awesome dad or what?

Super dad found Mr Sun @ Babies R Us in Bloomington, I'll. Yay!!

Costco no longer sells Baby Einstein play gym with Mr Sun. Hitting Target tonite. Ben, none the wiser (yet) has returned to his angelic disposition today.

Rainy day, inside and out

Days with no naps suck. Poor little guy has fought me, and won, since waking up this morning and is too tired to see straight. He is spitting up more and a different consistency. Could that be it? Calling ped tomorrow if this continues. He still sneaks in a smile periodically so I know he wants to be his perfect self, just fighting a force greater than him right now.

Next up, crisis in the house. Ben's play gym sun (the toy that lights up when he kicks the side brackets - as seen in recent video) is dead. Dead. Changed batteries (twice). It now sings this horrible, muffled, Satanic verses type of noise that is surely damaging his ears and brain.

WTF?!?!

Mr Sun is the first toy he loves and interacts with. How could this happen?? It's from DISNEY?! Hubby and I are working two computers to try to find a replacement; and discussing hitting Costco tonight to buy a whole new play gym just to get a new one.

He dances to the music. We can't live without it.

Yes, this is our life now. And I'm proud to say, I'm just fine with it (except for the part where Mr. Sun is dead of course).
