The Little Gem

Finn is getting to the point where he has a bit more head control and is wanting to spend more time sitting up.  So I started thinking that it might be time to get him an ExerSaucer and perhaps a Jolly Jumper too, just to be prepared.  There was a mom-to-mom sale coming up on Saturday morning and I was totally pumped to get up and get there early to search out some deals on used ExerSaucers.  As the week went on, my enthusiasm, how shall we say...waned?  And I was not-so-much looking forward to getting up early.  I rather enjoy that sleepy time in bed with Finn from about 6:00 to 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. every morning.  This sale meant trying to be in London (NORTH London at that!) for 8:00 a.m....because really, if there's a good deal to be had it's not going to be there at 10 a.m. is it?!  So Friday evening as Finn was napping I decided to see what I could find on Kijiji. I always forget about this little gem.  And what a gem it was that night.  There it was.  An ExerSaucer that looked like loads of fun (and CLEAN) for a very reasonable price.  It turns out the lady had a Jolly Jumper she wanted to sell too.  Does it get any better than this?!  Finn and I quickly drove to London, picked up our finds and had everything clean by the time James got home from his night out.  And while Finn is probably still a little little for the ExerSaucer, he certainly does love it.  Oh, the fascination and concentration of trying to play with those toys!  Priceless.
