I’ve created an 11-month-old yuppie

Ry's $99 sound machine just broke. It was really a Christmas present for D (MC Hammer's term of endearment for my husband), but soon ended up in baby's room (as new parents, we were desperate for zzzzzzzzs). Ry particularly does well with the "rain" setting. Now, "rainless," and sans the sleep-inducing sound waves, he's not having anything to do with his morning nap. He just threw himself against the sides of the crib—howling—while I scanned the iPod looking for nature sounds…“Downstream Drifters’” seems to be a mediocre substitute.... but he’s finally asleep, albeit with his legs hanging through the crib slats. Sheesh. I’m already making my life easier by appeasing him with the latest technological trappings...what will it be at age 5? or 16?
