Desperation

We had a very cranky little boy two nights ago. He appears to be teething like crazy. I was trying to cook a nice Sunday night meal for all of us while Steve was out working. Stanley only wanted to be held. I tried lots of our ticks: give him an 'orchastra' of pots and pans to bang on, turning on his kids music, letting him play DJ, and giving him cups of water to touch.

Nothing worked, so I resorted to desperation. I gave him lots and lots of buttons, a full keyboard worth of buttons. He loved it and I was able to put a wonderful dinner on the table.
