| This is a sponsored post, with a funny story about my kid |
We knew the fireplace needed some sort of babyproofing, obviously. I mean, we weren’t total novices at the babyproofing thing. So we laid a quilt down over the hearth and propped two extra large floor pillows over the opening (gas off, key secured.)
We never saw Scarlette go near it and I congratulated myself on my ingenious, frugal idea.
Until, that is, a couple of weeks later when I moved one of the pillows and saw that the entire fireplace was filled with brightly colored plastic balls.
Apparently, my toddling fifteen month old was steathily removing the balls from her ball pit, moving the heavy floor pillow, and dropping the balls in the fireplace one at a time.
After that I took a leftover sheet of beadboard and some removable picture hangers and boarded off the opening to the fireplace. Now I find plastic balls tucked in her daddy’s shoes or spilling out of the pantry when I go to get some pasta but at least I know the fireplace is actually inaccessible for now.
Her new favorite trick is to yell “YUK AT ME! I CWIMBIN!” as she attempts to scale something that we just told her explicitly NOT to climb on. She’s definitely a girl on the move, which is why all of her furniture is now attached to the wall. Safety first, folks!
HUGGIES® understands active babies so you can at least feel good about that fact that even though your kid dumped out an entire container of rice on the floor, at least she isn’t leaking in it. I mean, silver linings, right?
HUGGIES® are available at Walmart (you can get HUGGIES® Little Mover Diapers, HUGGIES® Snug & Dry Diapers, Bonus Packs Diapers or our favorite, the HUGGIES® Triple Clean Wipes.)
(That picture is not me, I have no babies in this belly y’all.)
