I bought every little gizmo out there for my girls. Not once, but twice. By the end of babyhood round 2 I realized that the diaper genie was never in the room I changed the baby, it was easier and cleaner to tie it in a disposable baggie and hit the closest trash can. I couldn't bear to leave the baby when I showered so she came with me. I think we used the baby tub once. Since we bathed this way from the get go, both girls were familiar with using a shower. They still (5 & 7) seldom take a bath unless its for fun. By the time they could sit up, I would lay a towel in the bottom of the shower and they would play under the water. And a clip over the doorway johnny jumper was used more than a swing, playpen and bouncy seat combined. My daughters would choose to dangle, then bounce rather than sit static. Even when they first started walking.

I have to admit, our current tv isn't old and crusty. We purchased it 2 years and 2 moves ago for a house featuring niches for your entertainment pleasure. 6 weeks into our new house; a much smaller, less already featuring built-ins house, our tv remains where the movers first carried it in. Inside the fireplace. The cable box and dvd player sit on the hearth beside it! However, above the tv/firebox is a beautiful, sleek mantel that would nicely hold the Insignia 37" LCD HDTV. The big switch would bring joy to the whole family. My husband would get football in all its HD clarity, my kids won't be able to stand with their noses pressed directly against the screen (putting off the need for glasses a few more years) and I won't have a heart attack every time my 4 year old squeezes her body into the 4 inch crevice beside the tv, threatening to push its off it precarious position onto the floor below!
