Today was supposed to be this total no-effort giveaway. It was all so beautiful: I have a stroller frame for carrying infant car seats, and an infant that is about to graduate to a bigger car seat, and a play date scheduled with Jack's best friend Caden whose mother is planning another baby soon. So. Of course I forget to put the fricking stroller in the fricking van. And then forget all about the whole thing until, once again, nearly midnight.
So today's offer is a last-minute act of desperation of an item I might have otherwise kept for awhile longer. Truly, however, it's superfluous: we actually have two of these preschooler My First Leap Pad doohickeys. I know, I know, but people just gave them to us, and then it was handy when Caden was coming over a couple times a week so they wouldn't fight over them.
Jack actually doesn't play with it much. I wonder if it is because I believe that books are one of the great pleaures of both being a parent and being a child, and have communicated that belief to Jack, and so thus we tend to curl up and read together, rather than having stories "read" by a blue plastic tablet with the relentlessly chipper lady inside. At least that's what I'm guessing from the fact that when I open the bathroom door Jack is standing there with "Amelia Bedelia" under his arm, instead of the Leap Pad.
Huge response for this one. More later once it works itself out.
