A baby soothing apparatus that is an inflatable, hollow cube made from a single, homogeneous layer of flexible material and the can be used to soothe a baby by being held by an adult user sitting on the inflatable device. The write method first rapidly raises the wordline to a lower read voltage level for access, then after a time delay that allows the cells in the selected row to establish a stabilizing differential voltage on the associated bitlines, raises the wordline voltage to a boosted or higher write voltage level. Thus, even if an assembly error occurs in attaching the substrates, the possibility that the spacers may get into the G colored regions is suppressed.
