Jumpin' Tony

Because Tony has spent so much time standing on our laps, and because we are a little weary from propping the little guy up all of the time, we decided to invest in a Jumperoo. Thanks to the lovely folks at Target, we now have a place for Tony to bounce the day away. In the first picture we are not quite sure what he is staring at, because the only things in that direction are a shaded window and the side of the t.v. The second picture is Tony laughing at us laughing at him (always a good time). On the other side of Tony you can see the pile-up of various things which have been brought into the house to amuse our little man and give us some hands-free time.
We have a little less than three weeks of summer left with this little guy before he enters the world of daycare and Mommy re-enters the work force (sigh). This is a painful but very neccessary fact of life. Lucky for us, our church has an excellent and very affordable daycare, which takes a large amount of the stress out of the decision of where to send him and all of those questions about the standard of care. We have walked by the daycare rooms many, many times and seen first hand that we are sending Tony to a friendly, clean, and safe place. The only down side to the place is that I don't remember ever seeing a Jumperoo.
