We have been long overdue on a getting a new thermometer for the kids. We have used the one we received at one of Skylar's baby showers (over ten years ago) to death. It's just not working reliably any longer. It was one of those ear thermometers that were fairly new-fangled and pricey back then.
Well, I did some research last year and have been wanting to get the Mobi thermometer. Until a few months ago, it was not available in any stores in our area. Last week, when I realized Lucy had a little fever, I finally broke down and paid the thirty or so dollars for it.
It's awesome - an ear and forehead thermometer in one. And it is SO fast! But the best part has to be the voice that announces "your body temperature is 98.7 degrees fahrenheit" as well as the time. The kids absolutely love that part. They're now vying to get their temperatures taken, rather than struggling with me. Lucy and Drake love it. Lucy tries to eat it and it generally settles her down if she's fussy to hear the authoratative British voice speaking to her from the little orange and white device.
I caught Skylar and Bart trying it out on inanimate objects the other day. Skylar was trying to take the temperature of a sweet potato, which she had drawn a little face and body on. The kids were consumed with gales of laughter when they realized they couldn't fool the thermometer. It just beeped at them in a no-nonsense way and the word "NO" flashed on the digital read-out.
Smart thermometer.
What will they think of next? Not only does it take your kids' temperatures, but it entertains them as well.
Needless to say, I highly recommend the Mobi thermometer.
