Could not do our nighttime routine without it., February 14, 2010

My daughter loves her Scout. She got it for her first birthday and now we honestly cannot go a day without it. We were having trouble getting her to go to sleep on her own. Now as part of her routine, we hold Scout for her and she presses his "nighttime" foot twice (once is 2 minutes, twice is 5, three times is 10). We sit and listen to him together and then when it's done, she goes in the crib. She loves pressing the buttons and watching the light in his collar go on and off. He is a little awkward in how he says some things but it can be unintentionally hilarious (like how he says "edamame", my daughter's current favorite food). Plus my daughter doesn't care about that. I LOVE that I can change some of the music. It'd be great if they were continually adding more, or if I could put some of our own stuff on there, but at least we can rotate the songs in and out as we get sick of hearing them every night. She's had it six months, we keep it on the low volume, he is played with every single day, and we still have not had to replace the batteries. My mom was so impressed with this toy that pretty much anybody she knows with a baby has gotten one for either a birthday or a holiday. They all seem to like theirs, also. Most of the moms in my daughter's play group have this for their kids as well. I haven't heard any complaints about it from anyone.
