It’s been a busy week around here, and we haven’t had much time to just sit down and enjoy each other. Maybe this is why I decided to talk about the lava lamp today, it isn’t a traditional tip or anything, but it really made our evening. You see, a lava lamp is not only a wonderful piece of art and a relaxation tool, but a source of great fascination for Lil’ Duck Duck! We spent a good hour lying on the bed watching it, while he exclaimed “wow! balls! wow! lamp! wow! light! wow!” endlessly. It did eventually help him settle down and relax, making for a nice little bonding moment as we laid on the bed just watching the lava, enjoying each other’s company without the busyness of life getting in the way.

that is a great idea – i can imagine all babies would love to look at a lava lamp
I love lava lamps too! They are so cool!
Isn’t it amazing how children are mesmerized by the simple things! This was a really sweet post!
Sounds like a perfect nightlight! Would make a cool baby gift!
Sweet! My boys have actually be asking for them too. One Christmas much to my SIL’s chagrin my mother got my brothers one (they’d both had them in their childhoods) lol.
Ahhh… having fun with the lava lamp. Sans mind altering dr^gs. See what kids do for us? thanks for visiting the butcherfam!
You know, One of these might been good for my 11 yo. Since he is ADHD, he has a hard time settling down at night. Like me, it’s the brain racing. Maybe having a Lava lamp would give him something to occupy his mind so he can let it settle. Heck, I might try it for myself.
I wonder if my husband’s disco globe (that he used at his start-up company) would be as fascinating. It is just collecting dust downstairs- thanks for the tips!!
Too cute! My baby likes the metal bathtub faucet.
Neat idea! I bet Teflon would enjoy it, too!
