So we’re accumulating “baby thing”, those brightly colored accessories without which one doesn’t dare bring a child home from the hospital. And now we have a mobile. With three dangly critters suspended in front of “Vertigo”-style circles. The while thing turns, it plays classical music, little toys slide with the movement, and frankly I’m ready to attach a side rail to my bed so I can just stare at it myself for hours on end. Absolutely mesmerizing.
