Yes, we now own this monstrosity.
Yes, it takes up about 1/4 of our living space.
Yes, sometimes I can feel it looming behind me and the hives begin to bubble up from under my skin.
Yes, it’s the Baby Einstein brand, which means it will automatically transform our kid into a genius.
Yes, we bought it used and much cheaper than a brand new one.
Yes, we’re keeping it.
And yes, I’m actually grateful for it—because Liam likes it. Oh, the lows that I’ve stooped to for this little guy. Good thing he’s worth it. *Wink wink.*
Lookout—we’ve got a rambunctious driver in the family!
On a related note, I’m considering a side gig making affordable, neutral-tone children’s toys. Haha. I really think there’s a market for it. Whadda ya think? Would you buy them?
P.S. Thanks for all the cool toys, Gma Mimsie! You saved me from a bland and colorless childhood. I mean, who knew there was another color besides beige?! Hugs and kisses to you and Gpa Popsie!
Wow. That IS a monstrosity. You should see my living room too...:) And I think the market for beige-toned toys would only be marketable to moms - kids just overall need that color stimulation, especially at Liam's age. Welcome to the world of kid junk!
ReplyDeletethis is so funny! what a loving mom will do for their sweet pea! :) (& love the mimsie & popsie reference--has that been sticking?)
ReplyDeleteI know...I'm slowly embracing it. : )
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've been surprised by how natural those names seem to come when I talk with Liam... They don't seem to be going away, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteYes, that thing is huge. We borrowed one from a friend for Jayla to use. She loved it and used it for a long time, I believe until she was a year. It's a great way to keep them from getting into stuff:)
ReplyDeleteHaha! How is it having two kids, Joy? Hope all is well at Gateway!
