Hi,

My Colyn figured those out in about 5 minutes.  lol  I finally got ones that 
you have to push down and he cried when he couldn't open the door.

>> Hi Veronica,
>> I'm ~ot sure if you've seen this, but in previous messages I've posted to

>> adoption.
>> We will be adopting a child between the ages of 0-3 years old.
>> Therefore, we may need to child proof our home sooner than a parent who
>> has
>> a child naturally, as we don't yet know the age our child will be. This 
>> is
>> why I am planning ahead.
>> Thanks for the info, and yes I am blessed to have this group! My husband
>> and
>> I truly appreciate all the great advice and resources you all have
>> provided
>> thus far!
>>
>> In Christ, Miranda

>> Even if you had the money, don't waste it there.  Just common sense is

>> to
>> stand or crawl. Then a must is cover those outlets.  You can buy outlet
>> covers just about anywhere and keep them covered unless you need that
>> spot.
>> Baby proof as your child grows. No glass that can break when grabbed, no
>> sharp things to play with, no little papers and toys to eat, no cords to
>> pull or chew. No curtains that they can tie around neck,  no pictures to
>> fall off the wall on the heads.
>> Don't worry about it until you have to.  V

>> Hi,
>> We're gathering information on what we can do to baby/childproof our 
>> home.
>> We're looking for information for children between 0-3 years of age.
>> Since we don't have the $300.00 or more for a babyproofing expert to come
>> and evaluate our home, we're wondering if any of you have any tips and
>> experiences of what does or doesn't work?
>> Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
