I love giraffe’s. Whether live at the zoo, stuffed animals or even cakes (obviously). Well maybe I don’t love them as much as my friend Kristi’s mom who has lots of giraffe statues and such, but I do think they are awfully cute.
I recently joined this group on a website titled Moms4mom. I’d say I’m slightly addicted with potential for mass addiction. Luke turned me on to it today and I’d like to say thank you. :)
On this website mom’s sign up to ask questions, answer question, vote on answers and the like. It’s also a little bit on the nerdy side because it gives out achievement awards like on X-Box. Hence the addiction part.
ANYWAY – A recent question from a mom was “What are some good baby shower gifts” She goes on to elaborate
“As a new mom I often have friends that ask me what would be a good baby shower gift? I would like to use establish a good list. As a mom what are things that you found to be the most useful? Please list one thing per answer so that they can easily be voted up or down. Feel free to post as many answers as you would like.”
Well I was reading through the list of responses and I found this:
“Sophie the giraffe is great. Especially when babies are teething or just learning to grasp things.”
Website Price: $21.99
Seriously?! 20 bucks for a chew toy?! The Saturday Night Live skit of “Really?!? with Seth & Amy is running through my head right now. Really!?! This is a toy targeted solely for the purposes of teething. Here is the website description:
Born in 1961, her success is legendary in France. Made in the French Alps with natural rubber and non-toxic paint, Sophie has been safely cuddled and chewed for over 40 years! She is soft, light, and easy to grasp and fits perfectly into little hands. Sophie is loveable and amusing. She even makes a happy sound when squeezed. Babies especially love her bumpy head to soothe their teething gums.
I do have to admit she is very cute and that I am quite curious as to what her “happy sound” is like. And wow, 40 years?! Really!?!
Well now despite that I have totally made fun of her I do wish to ask one thing of you. If you have had any experience with Sophie I want to hear about it!
