the proof is in the pudding...

This weekend involved assembling a castle, baby proofing the manor, and random naps through out.  When it comes to babies they are drawn promptly to the things that they can't have or should not interact with:

1. electrical outlets and cords
2. stairways
3. doors
4. cabinets that contain objects that could damage them or kill them
5. plastic bags
6. curling irons
7. dog food and water
8. ect....

Went to Lowes for some baby household safety devices.  My first thought was to wrap nick in bubble wrap and stick a helmet on him until he was like 47 but I now decided that is not the best plan.  The 2nd plan included a gate for the stairwell, outlet covers, and other random devices to make sure things can not be crossed or opened. Most of the items I needed were inhabiting the Lowes store.  Were? I did not know.  Patrice found me wandering about and brought a cart, helped me load it, and then unload into my car.  Once again, a Lowes employee went above the call of duty to make sure I had the things I needed! 

After successfully assembling Nick's Little Tykes Castle, I was more then confident I could install a baby gate at the bottom of the stairwell, apparently I am not an idiot savant when it comes to installing baby gates, so I tried to mentally consume the directions.  I also failed miserably at this as well.  Had to call in our handyman Chris Harper "Harper's Home Repair." I swear this guy is gilded in gold! 

After giving up on the baby gate, I went out to bask in the pool and play with Nick.  Pools, warm days, and Baby Boo always makes a perfect weekend!
