Our little Barret has become so brave! If you take your eyes off of him for even a second, he could be off and crawling into the next room, or following you to your destination, or climbing on the furniture. He seems to love climbing on our coffee table. I pushed it up against the wall to give him optimum playing room and to minimize the sharp scary corners around. However, those corners aren't the only part of the table that makes it dangerous. That extra little shelf that holds all of our books, magazine, random articles of Barret's clothing, and everything we have ever checked out of the library. Barret LOVES that shelf more than any piece of furniture and seems to gravitate towards it no matter what toys or people are available for play. While this isn't a bad thing, it creates the dangers of head 'bonking' and face 'smacking'. He has the "I know how to move" part of crawling down. But the depth perception and the when to stop part hasn't quiet come yet. So while we are having fun climbing and crawling, the scary boo-boos and smacks and bonks from the table are neither few nor far between.
(I am in the process of trying to figure out how to make this safer without having to purchase those super expensive guards. Any thoughts please let me know.)
