(play) More Tiny Love love

One more thing about Tiny Love mobiles and their greatness... When the boys were newborns, we had a night nanny who specialized in multiples come a few times a month so we could get some sleep. She showed us that you could take the Tiny Love mobiles apart - leaving the music box attached to the crib, but removing the fun parts that dangle over the crib. This was especially important to help them sleep. She wanted to remove any distraction. And when they are older and can reach the toys, you can completely remove that section and just leave the music box for the babies.

So now, we still remove the top half of the mobile at bedtime and put it back up in the morning. The boys have become so conditioned that every morning once they are all in the party crib where the mobile is set up, they look behind them at the music box and wait for the mobile to start. This morning, one of the them even learned how to turn it on and off. Fun for them...not so much for me!

(play) Tiny Love mobiles

Our lives changed the day we put up our Tiny Love Symphony in Motion mobile. The boys would scream, and I mean SCREAM, as they waited for all to get changed prior to getting their bottles. You can't explain "patience" to three newborns. So we put the mobile up (they were all sharing a crib at this point) and they were instantly mesmerized by the motion, colors and especially the music. They hang at an angle and contain pieces that fall, rotate, etc. The mobile technically goes from 0-5 months, but they are now 7 months old and still love it. I'll put them all in one crib (what we've dubbed the party crib) to hang out while I change diapers. They now roll on their bellies and stare at the music box, or try to reach out for the moving pieces (they can't reach them). It will be a sad day when they start sitting up on their own and we have to remove the mobile for safety reasons.

Even better, Tiny Love has a fantastic multiples program. If you buy one of their developmental toys & mobiles (through them), they will give you another for free. FREE! This link to their site outlines the details of the program. One thing to note: I sent in all of the necessary information, waited the allotted time and never heard from them. So I called their customer service and my information was in the system and they processed the order right then and there. The mobiles arrived within just a few days. So the key is to be proactive.

If you do not have multiples, I still highly recommend the Tiny Love mobiles.
