[blparent] baby gates question

Thu Jan 27 21:49:47 UTC 2011

Then Ken I think you need to be very firm about the fact that if you or
mommy is not in that room, then neither is she and if she is found in there
without you, then she will be punished.  Sounds harsh, but safety first. V

 is an issue during the morning part of the problem is that she used to have

some of her christmas presents in it. also she is allowed in it other times 
of the day when we are in it. taping the doors shut isn't an option the 
pressure would just take the tape off.
