Since she reached eight months (on 4\/1), Is. has grown keenly aware that most
\nof the sitting posts (bouncy chair, door-frame jumper, pack-n-play, and Baby Einstein contraption)
\nare the functional equivalent of an oubliette. I don’t mean to imply that we are
\ntorturing<\/i> our daughter by putting her in these what fun!<\/i> places, although if
\nyou asked her (could she talk), she would almost certainly add a few indignant
\nqualifiers. It’s just that she is cognizant of the shift in attention–often
\naway from her–when she is put in one of these devices for more or less
\nindependent play. The shift in attention might be understood as a momentary
\nforgetting, but that’s not the only correspondence: like the medieval chamber,
\nthe Einstein can only be escaped from the top.<\/p>\n

\n\"Baby<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Directly quoting the exchange between Hoggle and Sarah in Labyrinth<\/i>, D.
\npointed out Is.’s association of the Baby Einstein with an oubliette:<\/p>\n

\n\tHoggle: This is an oubliette, labyrinth’s full of ’em.
Sarah: Oh, I didn’t know that.
Hoggle: Oh don’t act so smart. You don’t even know what an oubliette is.
Sarah: Do you?
Hoggle: Yes. It’s a place you put people… to forget about ’em!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why not call it a developmental stage? Had Piaget a Baby Einstein for his
\nrugrats, he’d have accounted, no doubt, for the moment in month nine when they
\nwere–while nearing autonomous mobility–being gently cordoned off from the
\nrising hazards on all sides. It’s very much about containment for safety’s sake
\n(or so we tell ourselves). While this entry is focally concerned with my
\nlatest early childhood research, I can’t resist keying on the forgetting (oublier<\/i>)
\nin its etymology as a way to extend the oubliette analogy to blogging–to the
\nin-through-the-trap-door for safe-keeping and forgetting that describes, in
\npart, what happens here. Einstein aids this association: ""I never commit to
\nmemory anything that can easily be looked up in a [blog]."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
