*POW* LOL! Good stuff.

I like the full coffee table edge cover... Thinkin' maybe "pool noodles" with a "momma made" fabric cover? Cheap and easy. Like me... nevermind. :)

I am definitely going to get that power strip cover! My 1 year old loves plugs!!!

The tile flooring in our kitchen / dining room / den area seems to have an inexplicable moth-to-the-lightbulb kind of attraction for our toddler!

Repeated warnings about the dangers of horseplay in the tiled areas seem to accomplish nothing, so I've about decided that this is just going to have to be one of those things he learns on his own the hard way.

And anytime there's a floor in the house that he's going to take a tumble on, you can bet that it'll most certainly NOT be a nice, fluffy carpeted surface. Oh no, Heaven forbid! It's gonna be the tiled floor. Bank on it.

And why, oh why, must he always land on his head when a fall does occur?

We've got a front-loading washing machine. That's my biggest fear right now. She's already wolfed down a chunk of dog food....

@ Rob O
Isn't the hollow mellon sound they make when they hit the deck sickening. Ugh.

And it's like they sense the fall coming...Quick! To the tile floor!

I always felt my helmet seemed to have a concrete magnet in it when at the skatepark... but if it's actually in my head, it's probably genetic, so the boy is doomed (for so many reasons I'm sure).

Good one Daddy Clay! Daddy Brad had it coming! Bicycles and helmets are not only a must, but also the law (in NH). Maybe helmets should be required until age...hmmm...how old are you Daddy Brad?

What is it about little ones and tile floors? Anyway, we have a Spiderman here at our house who also has this bizarre fascination with shutting doors. So after many 'rescues' from being locked in bathrooms, bedrooms, and closets we decided it was time to figure out a way to keep him from getting stuck behind the doors he was closing. We take duct tape and tape down the lock-set so that while the door still closes, it can be pushed open again by little fingers. We keep the doors we want to keep 'locked' closed while he's up and about, but this has saved us so much hassle and frustration. That and its temporary and does no damage until our son is old enough to either understand not to do this or can at least reach the knobs to open the doors himself.

@ BugsPapa

Outstanding hack. Mind if we steal that one?

Hey look over there! POW! Right to the back of the head. Great show. I was rolling!

Seriously, most toddlers have heads bigger than their bodies. So after a while, the little troopers lose a battle with gravity here and there. Our problem was that after padding everything we thought could do some damage, she tripped over the sleeping dog. Now they both have helmets to prevent any damage to anyone.
