This toy right here. It is a ugly plastic aqurium you fasten to the side of the crib to soothe your baby to sleep. You press the button on the bottom (blue one in the center) and a light turns on, the fish swim in circles, the water bubbles and music plays. Amelia (and William also) really enjoys watching it while she falls asleep on the very few evenings she isn't almost asleep when I put her down. But, here is the problem. Amelia rolls around in her sleep like a madwoman. Every night/nap I use this, I end up regreting it when she rolls into it in her sleep and sets the [insert negative word of your choice] thing off. Usually I am already asleep and the music wakes me. I leap out of bed and dash to her room to get the [insert bad word] thing turned off before she wakes up. On the way, I may or may not trip over toys or other items in the dark. Because when it wakes her up, she is awake and ready to go. Not my idea of a good time at 2am. So, I love it when it entertains her and transports her to sleepy world, but I HATE the mad dash through the obstacle course at night.

We have a similar one, and had the same problem. I've taken to sneaking into her room after she's asleep and moving the switch to "off" so it won't turn on during the night. Risky, but worth it.
