Live & Learn.

For my first child, we had a video monitor, we felt more comfortable if we could see him while he was in his crib. So, in our ‘alone’ time, we would sit and watch this bad quality, black and white video of what we think was our precious first child’s face, while he slept!

For my second child, we just used the sound part of the monitor, I mean did we really need to see the tiny black and white image of something that looked like a baby staring at the camera? Ya, not so much! At this point I would actually prefer to look at TV instead.

For my third child, we bought a new regular monitor (the video one stopped working), which ended up in the boys room and the receiver part is always turned off! We have a new philosophy with this baby, ‘if we can’t hear him, then he’s not crying!’

Simple.

Happy Friday!
