It's been nearly a month since I put in for the repar kit for my Delta crib. It's a big red plastic thing that hold the rail in place, yet the 'big red thing' is not attached to anyting. Hmmm...I think I'll take my chances. I'll take a picture of it later.Delta also sent a form for a 10% rebate...if you have both the UPC code from the box and a copy of the receipt. Being that the box is long gone and I don't know if my parents still have the receipt or not, the rebate is totally useless. And 10% of $170 is a whopping $17. I have a feeling that many people will be mad about this. ...
trying out ‘Your Baby Can Read’
You can now buy the Your Baby Can Read program at WalMart. It's not the full one offered on tv, but it has the first 3 DVDs, each with flashcards and book....all for $60. Jason picked it up after he got off work on Saturday. Hannah watched the first DVD twice yesterday and seemed pretty glued to it. We'll have to wait and see it if works. ...
from crawling to somewhat standing
Since she has mastered crawling, Hannah is now trying to stand up. She's done a few times in the last two days, but she still hasn't quite figured it out yet. I've lowered the crib almost as far as it will go because she been using the rail and side to try to haul herself up.She's also started throwing fits when she doesn't get what she wants. However, they are less frequent now that she knows that she'll be put in her crib and have her toys taken away when she acts up like that. At least she's getting out of her system now. ...
It’s A Book by Lane Smith
Donkey, being completely immersed in the computer age, has no clue what a book is or what to do with it. Does it Twitter? Can you blog with it? He pesters Monkey, who is reading said 'strange object', until it is given to him. Donkey becomes wholly infatuated with the book and hilarity ensues...all leading up to a sidesplitting punch line at the end. It's A Book by Lane Smith pokes fun at society and poses a great question: Are books still important? It's a great book for children ages 4 to 8, but is also highly enjoyable for parents.Macmillan kidsThis post is a paid advertisement. ...
…meh…
Vacation came and went, and we didn't get hardly anything done. We did get the vanity table out...which, by the way, was cememted to the floor. I'm hoping to start getting the shelves in tomorrow. I'm also going to finish up the ceiling in the living room today. We won't be able to paint it until the heat wave breaks a bit, but at least you won't be able to see the water damage. I got the oven fixed, so now I can cook properly. I hope this controll panel lasts a bit longer than the last one. I'm also going to send a nasty email to Delta, complaining about not receiving any updates regarding my repair kit for the crib. What horrible customer service, especially when dealing with a recall. I'm also tempted to complain to the CPSC. ...
…if it’s not one thing, it’s another…
The control panel on the oven went out again. We just had it replaced in January! The factory warranty is out, so we had to call Best Buy to try to get it fixed. However, they said that we have no extended warrranty showing up in the system. The guy on the phone said that it was probaly never got entered into the system and that there is nothing they can do. The cheapest way to fix it is to order the part, $131 plus shipping, and fix it ourselves. So now we don't have an oven again. Great...just great... ...
