I working from home today to see Nolan through the end of his sickness. Today is the first time I have worked at my desk so it also the first time I cannot hear Nolan in his room. We have never used baby monitors because there was no need in the loft and we hear him well from our bed. (Perhaps too well.)
I downloaded a baby monitor app for my old phone and placed it in his room. There are two distinct styles of baby monitor apps, those that call you noise is detected and those that act like a traditional monitor and allow you to hear what is in the room. I went with the later because I’m not interested in tweaking the sensitivity today. I think it will be a great option over Christmas when he is sleeping in the bowels of our parent’s homes.
