A toy for our 3 month old child( I am the Grandfather) to keep her attention drawn by using Sound and Light embedded in an ikea flower. This was mounted on her basinet . It uses an arduino decimillia microcontroller board, Bipolar ( red & Green)LEDs RGB Leds, a speaker and Infrared RC5 reciever and a battery.
When the babys attention is tpo be drawn the TV remote control is pointed to the flower and a key is pressed. The LEds flash and a Musical tune starts off. After the tune is over if the Remote key is pressed another sequence of lights operation and a different Musical tune is played. Further it is desired to add a condensor microphone(electret) to trigger the action whenever the baby cried.
I along with My wife are on a visit to My Daughter and Son in Laws place in the US. They were blessed with a daughter on Dec 16 2008. I put together my professional skills of embedded systems right from designing, procuring on line the material and buiding this eGILAKA. Before starting this in thier house I had nothing available here except the desire, the skill and the encouragement. This could be an example of starting an embedded system development laboratory from scratch.This work was inspired by grand daughter Mahati and God bless her..

I believe you meant 2008.
Thanks for the Instructable. I've been thinking about doing something similar myself, but alas, I waited too long and now my youngest doesn't have any need for something like this.
