Just when we've gotten the hang of things...

my maternity leave comes to an end. :)

Yesterday was the last Friday of my maternity leave. Archer and I went to Target for the second time this week, and for possibly the first time ever, we made it there and back without any crying! The secret? Archer's new Gentle Giraffe with Soothing Sounds, a gift from our friend Jesse.

When I was figuring out how this new toy worked, I read some reviews online where parents said how it was a miracle for car rides. It really worked! His favorite sound is the one that plays safari sounds and had some drum beats...
