hooray! not a complete waste of money!!!


back in septemeber when i was newly pregnant and my nephew was just born, derek and i excitedly purchased the above item (bouncy chair) for miles. we were excited. this chair had all these super cool features, vibrate, bounce, mother's heart beat, birds chirping, music and fun toys too. it was used and the lady assured us, it was a steal of a deal at $40.

as it happens, miles received a similar bouncing/rocking chair a day or so before i was going to give the above chair. the one he got was brand new and would later convert into a rocking chair for a toddler (up to age 2). it cost $40 as well. i was pretty burned thinking i had wasted $40 on something used when i couldve gotten something comparable new for the same. well, regardless of that, we decided to keep it for our child.

once born, diedre hated the chair. until yesterday. when she kicked and made it bounce and played with the toys...so it all worked out in the end!!!

lesson learned: 1. always check out prices in the stores before buying something used to make sure you wont regret it later. 2. things always seem to work out, so don't waste your energy being annoyed or feeling "burned".
