I hired a cellphone babysitter

For those of you that are regular here at supermomplace we all know I have two small babies under 2… gasp! how did I manage to do that? well you stay pregnant for 2 years straight. Back to the subject, I have a super active 20 months old she alone is enough for anybody to deal with. She is super sensitive, when she is happy its to the max, when she’s unhappy she lets you know! then comes my 8 months (whom I’m weaning cold turkey this week) she is the happy baby, sits her down with some toy she is good for a good 10 minutes, or until her big sister drive by screaming “MINE!” and took the toys from her. Poor little baby umh. I don’t know if it has to do with the weaning my usually happy baby has become a bit whiny. She follow me around the house crying reaching her cute little arm with sad eyes that says mommy pick me up. I usually do, but yesterday I just couldn’t. So I call in my CELL PHONE. One of them had already downloaded some music on my phone and cost me big $$ in data. I figure I might as well put them to use. I turn the music on on my phone hand it to her. Boy! she was so exited, she was dancing and slabbing on the phone. 15 minutes later and $30 worth of data, she was calm and happy give me plenty of time to take care of my bizwack :) I always heard how using the TV as a baby sitter is such a bad idea, which I totally agree with. I have never heard of the cellphone babysitter. I just found out about it and I kinda like it.
To all my super working moms, what do you think of the cell phone babysitter?

    It’s funny… my kids lost TV priviledges for a week and then sort of got out of the habit of watching it. But there definitely times when I was like, “Don’t you really want to watch TV? No? Are you SURE?” LOL!

    Awesome! TV is a great babysitter. I even have a post on this on my site too! Never thought of the cell phone babysitter, tho. Good work, mama! Here’s my post on the TV if you want to take a look. http://www.organicmotherhoodwithcoolwhip.com/subBlog.asp?bID=50

    Cute post. Cell phones are a great distraction for kids. I can’t believe all the iPhone apps they have for kids now too. Amazing.
