But I am just like you - if there is something out there that I can do to protect my precious one a little more, then I am most likely going to do it!!Megan Balabanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818143754840031379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448734786253048988.post-55023026728781966922009-08-03T12:23:55.644-04:002009-08-03T12:23:55.644-04:00I use a shopping cart cover all the time...the few...I use a shopping cart cover all the time...the few times I have skipped it Taylor's mouth was all over the rusty shopping cart metal. Soooo nasty! People at stores always say stuff like "oh the things you kids buy into these days" or my inlaws will say "we didn't need any of this stuff when we were raising kids" ....sure you don't need any of it...but it's sure nice to have!!! I made the room Taylor plays in safe enough to feel like I don't have to follow her around the whole time she's in there I can kind of just sit and watch her. I can't make my stone fireplace go away and I can't keep her from putting her mouth on everything...but I can put a soft guard around the sharp edge of the fireplace and make sure to clean the room. I am totally a germaphobe...I understand that as Taylor gets older she's going to go outside and play - and get dirty and germy and she'll probably even break some bones- and that's part of being a kid...but for right now if you can prevent your little baby from getting sick or getting hurt, shouldn't you? Taylor gets her fair share of bumps and bruises now that she's walking - she trips over toys or stumbles and bumps her head ...but that's all part of the process.Brittany V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12599918514207045386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448734786253048988.post-5970274619074723332009-07-30T11:16:44.024-04:002009-07-30T11:16:44.024-04:00Agreed Madison - I think that throwing lotion-user...Agreed Madison - I think that throwing lotion-users in there was really stretching it a bit!Megan Balabanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818143754840031379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448734786253048988.post-75827288056354963922009-07-30T09:58:14.852-04:002009-07-30T09:58:14.852-04:00I'm not too extreme.

But we don't have any table corner protectors, etc etc. around the house. Just a baby gate for the stairs. Some people go above and beyond, but I wouldn't lump people who use lotion on their babies in with bubble-baby-mamas =PMadison {Life Happens During Naptime}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18435057354731884602noreply@blogger.com
