Home Improvements

Somewhere between Christmas and the new year, our house got un-babyproofed. It started with a couple of bulky toys The Roc had outgrown, which we discreetly banished to the garage to make way for the new kitchen playset Grandmommy bought him for Christmas. Then The Roc tripped over the last remaining baby gate in the house and hurt himself, and we realized that the gate wasn't doing anything but getting in everyone's way. Out to the garage it went. Finally, we took advantage of Daddy's vacation time to dismantle the crib, having given up on The Roc relocating to his big boy bed without coercion. With the crib stowed in the garage, I rearranged The Roc's room, hoping he wouldn 't notice the missing crib so much now that he could watch the world go by outside his window while having his diaper changed. Pretty soon he'll be potty trained, the changing table will find its way to the garage, and I'll have another wall to work with. I'm thinking of putting in a giant hamster wheel.
