Lucky for you I have a free moment.
We suspected that our second child would not be of the same mellow temperament as our big boy. It seems our suspicions are becoming reality. "The Tank" as we have come to call him is mobile. Extremely mobile. Being that he is now almost 8 months old, I know, he is into EVERYTHING. So, when Gideon was a wee babe he never put anything into his mouth. Occasionally he might pick something up and hand it to us. He also never even tried to open any cupboards. I remember installing those stupid child proof lock things on all the doors and drawers, and putting socket covers on all the outlets, and putting up gates to keep him out of the kitchen.
We then found out what an epic waste of time it was. He never once tried opening a single thing. Tank on the other hand puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, has already tried to open the one cupboard with all the cleaning supplies, showed interest in the power sockets, and sticks his fingers in the cats water bowl about 5 times a day. Give or take.
So, we now have socket covers up, and plans to install a baby gate. We're also making a plan for what is going to happen with our Christmas tree. I have nightmares of Harper pulling the whole thing down on himself, glass bulbs shattering and stabbing him in the eye.
No big deal.
The good news is that now my boys can play together. I mean play is a relative term. It's more like the baby grabbing all of Gideon's toys, Gideon not knowing how to react, and us just laughing in the background.
