A Nightlight for Henry

We recently got a nightlight for Henry and it is the most fun! After looking at lots of different night lights, I settled on the Mobi TykeLight (in green) for several reasons.

1. It is portable. I love Eleanor's nightlight, it was mine when I was little. However, it is in her room and isn't movable since it needs to be plugged in. Also, it is the shape of a rather large and unwieldy old woman's shoe -- the one who had so many children she didn't know what to do. The TykeLight is a very clever design, it sits on a recharger during the day and then at night you just pick it up and set it where you want it to be. Lately it has been sitting in the hallway, guiding me to Henry when he is ready to nurse. Eleanor gets a kick out of it too, she usually picks it up in the morning and brings it into our room.

2. It has two light settings. The settings are not all that different but if a little extra light is needed in the middle of the night to clean up some sort of mess or another, the TykeLight does the job. The only complaint I have is that when it is recharging on the base you cannot turn it on. However, if the power happens to go out, the light automatically goes on -- a nice feature in our house where we lose power at least once a week (maybe a bit of an exaggeration).

3. It is cute. I know, very vain on my part, especially since Henry could care less.
