...I would argue that it is sometimes the pain in things that make you appreciate them the most... it is my unconditional willingness to endure the middle-of-the-night feedings, the cleaning up of vomit, the screaming for no good reason, etc that makes me realize how much I love my child and love raising him...

Loud Toys

They’re cute at first. You have this nostalgic experience of being brought back to a time when you too were soothed or excited by that particular nursery rhyme song but then it is played no fewer than 53 times in a row and you are over it.

My husband has taken to actually disconnecting the speakers of particularly offensively loud or obnoxiously chosen sound effects and songs but you of course don’t want to do that for everything. A friend of mine shared this little trick… cover the speaker(s) with masking tape.

Now why didn’t I think of that 6 months ago???
