So it turns out the biggest difference between kid one and kid two in this house is that it’s just plain harder to make sure kid two doesn’t put things in her mouth that don’t belong there. With Logan, I could baby proof the heck out of the house. There was nothing anywhere near the floor that he could get in his mouth.
With Aubrey? It’s significantly harder, because of a certain little boy’s toys. Logan doesn’t have super tiny toys like little lego bricks, but he has plenty of things that are on the “bad idea for Aubrey” list. And Logan’s toys are SO much more appealing to her. Forget those baby toys, she knows where the real fun is!
Seriously, I never knew how many little “guys” we had until Aubrey started crawling.
Even books aren’t safe…
Even when she finds a big toy like his Buzz I get all worried that some little piece is going to come off.
Logan is hot and cold about sharing his toys with her. As I guess 3 year olds are in general. But, the rule is that if she has one of his “safe” toys and he wants to play with it, he has to bring her one of her toys instead. And he has to be gentle about the whole thing. He’s trying and does pretty well most of the time. Now, when she gets older and can safely play with his toys? Yeah, that’ll be interesting…
Because this kid? She’s serious about moving around wherever she pleases, thank you very much!
