Karyn's new toy

Create a soothing underwater environment for baby’s crib with this ocean-themed remote-control mobile! A dancing light pattern of bubbles, fish and swirls projects from the mobile onto the ceiling, and the light softly glows – ideal for calming baby in her crib at night. Soothing lullabies and ocean sounds play as fishy friends float gently overhead. The remote control means mom or dad can stop or start the mobile’s motion with the click of a button. And inside the crib, baby has something to press, too – a squishy pad “fishbowl”! Then as baby grows, the ocean mobile converts from crib to dresser top use, so sweet dreams can continue right into the toddler years! Requires 2 “AA” & 4 “D" alkaline batteries (not included).

We had wanted to buy this Fisher Price Ocean Wonders musical mobile for some time already. We first spotted it at Tom & Stephanie in West Mall. It cost $79.90. That's quite expensive for a toy that can last only a couple of months, considering that once Karyn gets older and stronger, she might pull and lug the whole mobile down.

So we decided to wait for the Great Singapore Sale. On the second day of GSS, we immediately went to West Mall again to look for the mobile but to no avail. There were no more left! Some other people had beat us to it! We were so disappointed.

Then on Sunday afternoon, it suddenly occurred to me that there's another branch of Tom & Stephanie at the building beside Lot 1. So we headed there immediately after lunch. And lo and behold! We finally saw what we've been searching for!

There it was, sitting on the shelf. But there was no discount... The only sale was for members only. Members get 20% discount. Well, too bad. We thought the mobile was too pretty to give up on. We had gone shopping for a mobile for the past few weekends and only this one caught our eyes. The others either had colours that were too gaudy or the soft toys too weird- or cheap-looking.

So finally, we bought it and Hubby immediately installed it onto Karyn's cot once we got home. We tried out the various features and were very satisfied with the product.
