Dodged a Bullet Today...
So I have been looking for a toy that would help Jackson sit up- he is all about rolling on his tummy and trying to crawl but will still fall over when you try to get him to sit up on his own. So I thought that a toy that is fun and stimulating for a sitter would be a good bet. Of course no one has really thought to make much in the way of toys for sitters- I guess he is supposed to just sit on his duff and play with the 100's of other toys he has.
But I wanted something that he could maybe lean forward on while he played- so he could learn to balance. Then I found this leap frog learn around playground thing. It looked awesome - it cost about 6o bucks though so I was debating whether it was worth it or not. I mean he will eventually figure out the sitting thing- so is it really worth 60 bucks? Then I get this in my email box this AM

Hey there, Elizabeth has this toy and is one of the few toys she will still play with. They are now putting a cap over the part where the kids are putting their arms. We never had that problem. Elizabeth uses that hole as a sippy cup holder. :) But if you do buy it get the cap to go over the hole. I have had no problems with the toy at all and it was worth the money for us. Especially since she plays with it.
