a gift from grandma

Before leaving for Russia, Grandma left Elijah a monetary gift to be spent on a walker. After researching what's available on the market, we decided that we are not going to pay a fortune for cheap plastic junk which didn't do what we wanted anyway. Instead, we invested into a "wrap" pictured here. We could've bought a brand name one, or went on eBay and bought a used one for half the price. Instead, we went to Ten Thousand Villages in hopes to buy a good piece of cloth for cheap, and ended up spending way too much money on five yards of very good quality material (again, see picture).

This should now enable us to carry Elijah while cooking without risking to burn him. Even though riding on Daddy's back doesn't keep him happy forever (especially not in the evening when he is at the end of his rope), it does a much better job than the high chair (or even the changing table - sorry Cherith, but the metaphysical connection you were claiming is starting to wear off :-))

I made the blog! I made the blog! That's even better than a metaphysical connection with Elijah! Well, almost. ;)
