Toys for us

There are some baby items that work, and others that don't. For ease of future parents, I post a few that do serve a function.

The play mat by Tiny Love is useful from very early on in stimulating the baby's senses. Our two weeks old Alexander had a few minutes of fun attempting to bite the ape's foot and the elephant's trunk, before becoming hysterical either because he did not succeed or because he is addicted to bodily warmth.

The pet by Sigikid (which we have baptized Siegfried) is flat (and therefore manageable to a very young baby) and has nice contrasting checkered and striped panels. The material is soft enough to be pleasant to the baby, yet rough enough to make itself felt as a definite presence.
