Dear Lily,
When you are upset we go through the usual routine to calm you down. Feeding, napping, book, plastic rings, mirror, pacifier, promises to get you a pony. When none of these work we go to our ace in the hole - our friend, Jelly.
Who is this Jelly? Well, Jelly is a screen saver that spins and swoops and swishes in synchronization to the beat of whatever music is playing. Oh, and he looks like a jellyfish.
You love to watch Jelly dance while Mommy and Daddy sing to you. It's not American Idol, but it's all we've got and you don't seem to mind. You look so mesmerized. Look at those eyes!
The effectiveness of Jelly is considerable but we have to use him sparingly because if you get bored of Jelly, all you have is us singing and that will never make anybody happy.
Love,
Dad
