Aurelia and the search for the Loch Ness Monster

So we set up the baby monitor. The FP Gal found it at a garage sale for a song and it's worth every note. This one comes with a motion detector so we can tell if burglars have entered the yard (or something like that). A side benefit is that we can feel more confident that she's doing ok even if we're not around her.
The monitor makes a ticking noise at a regular interval. It reminds me of nothing more than the steady sonar 'ping' that you hear in any submarine movie. You half expect to see unshaven Germans huddling over a scope while chain-smoking. It's kind of...tense. At first at least. Then it becomes audio wallpaper.
No one ever tells you about the new toys you'll have.

Have you changed the spelling on your little one's name?

Nope. Just misspelled it.
