Bino and the magic vacuum cleaner

I'm not sure where I read this bit of information, but some people suggest turning on a blow-dryer, vacuum cleaner, washing machine or dishwasher when a baby gets fussy. I was skeptical until last night in desperation, I turned on the vacuum when Bino wouldn't stop crying, just in case... and it worked. He calmed down instantly.

Just to make sure this wasn't a fluke, I turned it on again this afternoon, when Bino began fussing after we came in from a ride in his stroller. Still works. And I got a bit more cleaning done, too.
