White Noise


I picked up a cassette tape at the thrift store months ago because I thought it was funny - it's an audio recording of 30 minutes of a lawn mower running, backed with 30 minutes of a vacuum cleaner running. All for soothing the colicky baby, and even with a great photo of a bawling child on the cover. Note the before and after depictions.

Turns out it works great for midnight fussiness! And uses less electricity/gas than a vacuum/mower. Dan prefers the lawn mower noises, but I say, whatever works! We set up a little tape player in Sylvia's room. You should see the blank stare she gets on her face when we press "play."
