will need to childproof orchids area real soon!!!!
"Joanna, come and look at what your son is doing." I hear my husband call.
And sure enough the 5 months old is up to trouble. Not long before then I had left him in the middle of a small mat surrounded by a few of his favorite toys. But was he playing with those toys? Oh, no. He had rolled and inched his way off this mat, and another two to three feet further to our bay leaf plant/tree. His hand was firmly on the rim of the pot, and he was shaking it. Another minute or two of this and the potted plant would have fallen over. Yikes! I thought that we had a bit of time to really child-proof this place, but I guess our time has run out. Technically Robert is not a toddler yet, since he does not crawl or walk, but that does not mean that he is not perfectly capable of moving as far as a toddler can and at times almost as fast. And he is beginning to show the toddler's uncanny instinct for where to head for "Ooo, this looks exciting. I wonder what will happen if I shake that." Joanna |

Joe, that's the first thing I picked up on, LOL! "Your son" indeed!
Joanna, they can be really quick, and he'll be crawling and then pulling himself up before you know it. Work fast! Diana |

Joanna, I would buy a playpen today!!!! Richard can get used to it now & later
it can be storage for his toys. Better to be safe than sorry. -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply J Fortuna wrote: "Joanna, come and look at what your son is doing."
