Baby Proofing

Well, it’s gotten to a point where we need to step up our baby-proofing game. When Troy had started crawling, we had moved things above his head so he couldn’t reach them. Now that he’s standing, everything is in range again. He’s become fascinated with the window sills in the kitchen and everything on them...which is a lot. We have plants, figurines, and fairy houses stacked all along them with little wired LED lights strung in between. So needless to say, he has a lot of targets to go after. From grabbing the LED wire, to pulling the leaves off the plants and trying to eat them, to trying to tip the fairy houses off with his little finger tips. It’s a constant menace, and it requires 100% diligence.

Tonight, he was crawling around downstairs while my wife was cooking. I was upstairs working. All of a sudden I hear my wife screaming, so I rushed downstairs to find Troy sitting on the floor with potting soil on his head and drenched from head to toe in water. He seemed unbothered by his state and was still attempting to play with the poor plant that was lying exposed on the floor in front of him. My wife was frantically trying to keep him away from it and clean him up at the same time. I couldn’t help but laugh. At both the ludicrousness of the situation and the fact that he seemed unfazed to be sitting there wet and with soil on his head. So, tomorrow we’re going to have to upgrade to level 2 on the baby proofing.
