A Widget Repurposed

It's been a while since my last post, and we've been busy... among other things, a family visit including RR's first trip to the seashore. She enjoyed the large sandbox and the ocean which is "Really wet. Really, really wet".

But now we're back home and it's bedtime, and she's wanting to fall asleep with T these days. However T being 8 months along, needs help lifting her over the crib rail. It's counterproductive to call out to me in the other room while holding a just-asleep child, even quietly via baby monitor. So I searched my gear bag and gave her a small push-button remote to summon assistance...

Some time later, sitting at my laptop, I heard a sharp ker-clack! nearby. Time to go, and a brand new use for my radio remote camera trigger.
