We have started to Toddler proof our house. We have had a gate up near the basement stairs for a few weeks now and have put all those covers on the plugs. But we needed to get two more gates and some locks for our cabinets. Marc got a gate and was so proud of himself because he picked it out on his own. But when he took it out of the box, he realized that he needed to drill a wall mount in order to support the frame. He looked so defeated.
I found it ironic that a year ago we were rushing around trying to buy all the things we still needed for Lucas to come home. I remember my mother in law coming over to take me to Babies R Us and I just broke down because I was so overwhelmed with everything-and Lucas wasn't even home yet!
Now if we can just toddler proof the cat . . .

Yeah, it would be a lot easier to houseproof the toddler!!
John had to bust through the drywall in the garage to put in a support for the gate at the bottom of our stairs.
They make gates look so simple on the box, don't they... a lady holding a baby in one hand (a baby who apparently weighs nothing and never squirms) and opening a gate with the other hand (not having to manhandle the childproof latch at all).
I feel ya. :-)
