After spending 30-plus minutes trying to trick the boy into slumber, the LAST thing you want is to have to start from scratch due to a tiny preventable mistake.
One of those mistakes is forgetting to turn off the phone ringer. We’re not even that popular, but it seems like when we do get calls they often occur during that crucial make-or-break-a-nap time. After making this mistake way too many times, we finally invested in the solution: a new cordless phone! Why didn’t we do this ages ago???
All it took was a trip to Target and $25 dollars. This phone is awesome. It’s cheap, you can select one of about 10 different ring tones, it has a handset speakerphone capability, and best of all, the ringer volume really adjusts! I can’t describe the trouble this one feature has saved us already. Finally there are more options than High, Low (which is actually really loud), and Off!
