[tri-med] Re: tumbleform chair

We have the Fisher Price booster/toddler rocker for Keren and she  
loves it! The only bum deal is that she's just about outgrown it-- 
sigh! Last spring she figured out how to get it rocking by herself.  
She waves her arm in the air like a rodeo rider and gets the whole  
system going :) .

things daily...and teaching us even more (9/27/02), Clarissa Joanne,  
our 2-year-old Tigger who amazes me and drives me crazy (7/17/05) ),  
and Evelyn Ruth who's full of cheeky grins...and pretty much walking  
at nine months--Yikes! (4/26/07)
