Mrs. Usagi and I have long used a small music player for the children when they go to bed. It soothes them and provides a sort of constant - something that always happens at bedtime.
The machine we use can be set to play one of a couple of lullaby tunes, or can be set to sounds such as rain falling, or soft jungle sounds. Usually, the kids like the lullaby, then we switch it over to a rain sound after they fall asleep (they wake up less when we do that).
This morning, when my daughter - age 2 - woke up, she was upset because of a wet diaper. As I was changing her diaper, something funny struck me.
The sound machine was playing the sound of rainfall.
Outside, it was raining.
The two sounds actually were quite similar.
I laughed because we were using modern technology to provide the same sound as was being provided by nature outside. Redundant, huh?
