Remote Control = Ultimate Teether

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Dads do you really want to get yourself in trouble?  Do what I did and give your little one the remote control.   My daughter now thinks that the Cox DVR remote control is the holy grail of teethers.   Was it on purpose?   Is that remote control really so cool?   Are we genetically built to love remote controls?

NO

Don’t forget your baby looks at you all the time for everything.   When you think they’re not paying attention that little brain is firing on all cylinders learning more than you learn in days.   When they see you with a remote control they want it.   Something has to be special about it right?   

Well it’s happened now and she loves it so we cleaned it and disinfected it.   Take the batteries out and let her chew on it.  Google it to make sure it won’t cause cancer.   Do whatever it takes but I’m sure I did a lot worse when I was a baby and I’m perfectly healthy.   The point is to keep in mind that the smallest thing you do is picked up by your infant.   Tread carefully.   I’m even considering not drinking at home anymore for the sake of my daughters first experiences.   They’re so important!

Hello world!
