MERCURIAL KID

Sometimes we forget to plug in the nightlight in the bean's room at bedtime. Then, when she wakes crying, we think we detect a note of fear--maybe the room is too dark and she's afraid, we tell ourselves. This little cycle is precisely why I am thinking about getting the Magic Light from Chloe in Style for the bean's first birthday. Behold, the prickly hedgehog version:



Since it's an LED nightlight made of PVC plastic, it uses less energy and stays cool, which means it could theoretically double as a toy later. And it's so adorable, I'm not likely to forget to turn it on at night. There are penguin and rabbit and panda versions available too, but what better way to work a hedgehog into the room?
