Toddler Proofing

I don’t know why “they” call it Baby Proofing. What is your baby who lays on the floor and smiles at a spot on the wall really going to get into? Oh no, an outlet! Oh put all the glass vases way up high! It’s all pretty standard in the baby age. The tough part? Toddlers. Once they start walking, there is the new level they never saw before. Plus there are things that we as adults don’t really think is fun anymore.

Like?!

Putting things in the toilet.
I don’t know what it is about lifting that seat up and tossing in random inanimate objects, but apparently it is the cat’s pajamas {figuratively speaking. we don’t actually HAVE cat pajamas here. But if we did, they’d be in the toilet}.

Running with sharp objects
So you put your scissors way up high out of toddler reach? Well unless YOU can barely reach it, this kid will. I think they have these magical flying powers that initiate when you turn your back. Anyways, so they got your scissors out of the back of the top drawer of you 4 foot crafting dresser. Now they run. Okay that might sound fun, but through the years we have learned that it’s really not a good idea.

Doggie Doors
Not only do toddlers have a magical ability to fly when your back is turned, they also have super sonic speed. If you aren’t looking for long enough to put the scissors back in the drawer, your toddler gone. Climbing out of the doggie door. So tell Spot he may just have to ask to go out for now on. Leaving the big door open for access to the doggie door isn’t happening until the toddler learns doggie doors are for doggies. Not for little boys.

Throwing Electronics
Nice remote mom! *SMASH* There is something about the sleek black and silver of important electronic equipment that is irresistible to toddlers. Protecting these is really important. As you know, I have a new iPhone, and I have seen way too many scary sad pictures of spiderweb cracked screens. Now that I have finally found a phone I want to spend the rest of my life with {haha I so funny} I want to keep it super safe. When you’re looking for a really good iPhone cover, Otterbox is the first word out of people’s lips. Otterbox makes cases for your phones, iPads, Kindles, and more. I wanted something sleek still, nothing Zack-Morris-Phone like and went with a Commuter Series Case. It’s lime green (A little different from my usual pink, but I can always change my phone’s outfits for a night out if I really want!) and super trim. It’s a soft impact absorbing silicone cover all the way around and then the green plastic (Hi-impact polycarbonate to be exact!!) piece that goes over it. The green totally absorbs all the shock when the iPhone gets chucked or dropped or tossed through the doggie door. My Otterbox also came with a screen protector! So no little scratches or toddler jelly prints on my screen! Otterbox has won a ton of impressive awards, and they totally deserve every one!

I like this girl’s bike….

What things have YOU had to toddler proof?!

I was sent an Otterbox for review. I received no compensation. All opinions are honest and my own. I love it so much I want to buy a pink one!
