We Can't Have Nice Things

Mute button pacifier

I visited my friend Lara at her home in Tokyo yesterday. She just had a baby boy, who is the proud owner of this adorable little pacifier that doubles as his very own mute button.

Update: You can buy it on Amazon for $6.

Neither of my kids took a pacifier, but I would have loved to carry them around with one of these.

Ellie is victorious!

Ellie loves Christmas movies and Christmas music, so tonight we're watching "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney. The song "Snow" should really be a holiday standard.
