I have had one sick little baby who has needed a lot of momma holding the past 2 days. Yeah, that sweet little Oliver of ours has had the flu and wasn’t able to keep anything down, ugggh…..so I’ve actually been enjoying a lot of snuggling with a feverish and flu-ish little person (with a big red bowl nearby at all times). While doing a lot of sitting with him, I was looking around online for some new ideas to keep this little guy out of things. Because Oliver is INTO EVERYTHING! Day in and day out, he explores our home like his own little playground and empties cupboards, digs through drawers, pulls food off of pantry shelves, empties tissue boxes, drags baskets out of place, chews on everything, steals shoes, pulls on cords, dumps out boxes of anything, and on and on. Yep, it’s totally normal and healthy for a growing little 19 month old……so I’ve needed a few more ways to slow this kiddo down!
And while looking, I found some other ideas that I don’t necessarily need, but thought were super clever ideas to childproof the home, that some of you may find useful!
