Baby Proofing

Oh the baby proofing never seems to end! Just when we think we have the house totally baby proofed (minus the basement that is still under construction) Ethan finds more things that we need to Ethan Proof. Last night it was the bottom 2 drawers on the entertainment center. He opened the drawers last night & got into the DVD's. We got them picked up but he went right back to the drawers. We told him no & he smashed his fingers closing the drawer. Then after we got him calmed down from that he went right back & before we could move he smashed his finger a second time. You would think that he would learn from the 1st time but nope. So to prevent it from happening again we put duct tape on the drawers to keep them closed just until I could get something for them. We do have special locks but they won't work on those drawers. I found some straps that adhere to the outside & those are now in place. Although Ethan has already figured a way to remove them. Use them as a foot hold to climb. I don't think he realizes that they pop off if he does that. They aren't designed to support weight. We also have locks on all the drawers & lower cabinets in the kitchen. Next it will probably be locks for the lazy susan & the sliding door to the pantry. I don't want to get comfortable in thinking we now have everything Ethan Proofed b/c he will always find a way to prove us wrong.

We took Ethan today to get his blood drawn for his hyperphe. He has a appt on the 31st for Dr Horner. It will be a week before we get the results. Tomorrow Ethan has an appt with his eye dr. The appt was made like a year ago. I totally forgot about it. Good thing I didn't have anything planned & that I got the reminder call as well yesterday. I hate making appts that far in advance it's just too hard to remember.

Ethan's bottom molar is really coming in now. Apparently even though he has been in a pretty good mood it's bothering him. This morning he was having oatmeal & he threw up just a little of it towards finishing it. Then he did it again while he was eating dinner. It's not a common thing with him but it has happened in the past with other teeth. Certain ones just cause his tummy to get a bit upset at times. He's been his usual Mr. Activity self today so it must not be too bad.

His potty training is going fairly well. We always have success before bed & most of the time after breakfast. I think that once we get him to poo in the potty we will be off to the races on it. But trying to figure out his schedule is hard. Just when we think we got it he throws it up on us. It's just a matter of having him on the potty at the right time. I may just have to start doing it with every diaper change, before his meals & after his meals. But I don't think he is quite ready for that much yet. I'm in no hurry to have it happen over night. When it happens it happens.
