Of course, just because Sophie enjoys being outside doesn’t mean we’ve completely banned bright, noise-making plastic that can spin, open, close and otherwise delight. Here’s my most recent Craigslist purchase—for $9 and some change I got a slightly used LeapStart Learning Gym, which is going for $100 on Amazon. Sophie likes it, but I bet she’ll like it more when she can sit up on her own to use it.
