As the title implies, we finally caved in and bought an ultrasaucer. We were hestitant to do so, given that too frequent use or over-reliance can lead to bow-leggedness. However, after letting Katherine try her friend Sidney’s exersaucer, we were convinced that she would benefit from occasional use.
We took her to first Toys R Us and found the selection fairly limited, and then to Babys R Us in SouthCenter. While they didn’t have the model that Sidney uses, we found one that Katherine seemed to enjoy. We use the saucer perhaps 10 minutes in the morning, when Steve makes coffee, and Patty uses it occasionally during the day. Thus far, her favorite toy is the orange smiley shakey “thing” that Katherine can reach and bend into her mouth.
Interesting to note is that Christine and Katherine watched Steve assemble the saucer – no small task- and that Katherine almost lunged at the saucer to get in it. She almost seemed to know what Steve was doing and was very enthusiastic to try it out!
