Shake Rattle and Roll

Here is Elizabeth in her newest toy - the exersaucer. My friend Laurie recommended this toy since her daughter Avery adored it--and I think Elizabeth and she may have something in common on that score.

The toy however was quite something to put together. We had to enlist the help of Rick who is a home remodeler and builder to put this darn toy together--it had about 78 parts. It took Rick and his helper about 40 minutes to put the thing together--about the same time it would have taken them to put up the wall of a house!

Nonetheless, it seems well worth the effort-Elizabeth seems to really enjoy the thing. Although we have learned it is best to have her play in this earlier in the day--getting this worked up before bed time is clearly NOT a good thing.
