[tri-med] Re: Communication Devices

kaiya seems to like activating her toys with her face better than her 
hands...i'm always worried that something is going to shock her when she's 
playing with the switches. with those big beautiful eyes, i don't think i would 
be able to discipline mari at all!

Kelly,

Mari has used a 'big mac' switch since she was very small (6 mos or so).  She 
of 
course is good at it now, but loves to just whack it over & over again.  She 
has 
also started pressing the button with her nose or mouth.  It's really hard to 
keep a straight face & discipline her when she does it~!

her nose)
