GOOD Input

Thanks to Literary Girl and Solace Girl for the input! I laughed about J because I actually remember the time in his life when he was night roaming. He was a smart little one and I can see the need for blocking him off the rest of the house.

My little one also has the ability to open doors...so that complicates things a bit. Pretty soon she will be big enough to also flip the lock on the front door. So I think we will need to install a two way keyed entry like the back door.

So our newest ideas is to put a safety gate in her doorway with some bells attached. That way if she gets out of her crib and scales the gate we have a chance to hear her and take action. My other plan is much bigger and entails baby-proofing the whole upstairs. That way I don't have such fear of her getting into things so quickly. I know it doesn't take the place of supervision, but if things that are unsuitable for her are out of reach, then I much more at peace when she gets away from me. She is a quick little one and since her life's work is to explore and experiment then I need to make changes accordingly.

Also, does anyone know where to find those little plastic knobs that cover the gas knobs on a gas range? Our knobs face the front and I put on some plastic disks that go between the oven and the knob, but it doesn't hinder turning on the gas at all. I know I saw some a while back where the plastic is like a dome that has to be flipped open to get to the knob. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks to all!
