I’m a bit concerned…
The baby is crawling. The baby is crawling and trying to climb. The baby is scaring the heck out of me.
My son was a late crawler and walker but this little girl wants to do it all—NOW! So, I’m trying to look at our main living space with new eyes and at baby’s level like this article mentions
So what do I notice…
-Multiple outlets that need covering. We do have some outlets with covering built into them but I think we’ll need more.
-Wires. (Stereo wires and computer wires.) I’ll have to start storing my computer upstairs for daytime.
-Baseboards. Ya, I need some! Hubby put down new flooring and never put the baseboards up. Weird little things tend to get stuck in the cracks, like Play Doh.
-Clear the top of the television. Stuff tends to fall when the kids are bouncing all over the place.
-Move the plastic drawer unit. I’ve been keeping diapers and extra baby stuff in there. It’s useful but light and easy to topple over.
-Table cloths. Good for hiding junk under the desk but again, easy to pull on. It will have to go. Actually, I’ll probably move the whole desk.
-Garbage pail. I need to make space in our closet so it’s not out in the open.
-Baby gate. We’ll need to start using the baby gate so she doesn’t try to climb the stairs.
-Doors shut. (Bathroom and closet.) Also, I need to replace one broken baby safety latch in the kitchen.
-Slip proof mats. We have a few mats at the doors that need some slip proofing and the foam play mats seem slippery too.
That’s quite the list.
