Emergency preparedness
My wonderful husband is big into being prepared for emergencies, we have all the necessary gear to survive
a natural disaster/zombie apocalypse, which i very much appreciate. What do you do though ,when you realize
that the sweet little infant you birthed not
long ago is a miniature Godzilla with super human strength in his tiny little body that moves at warp speed
when you are sluggish and semi aware at best due to lack of sleep and distracted by poo bombs he's dropped
( that have escape his diaper by way of his undoing the Velcro poking with his hands then smearing liberally
around the house)
and change he's managed to find on the floor and put in his mouth despite your best efforts to 'childproof' and make it safe.
I would like to put forward the notion that a total and successful childproofing could only happen in a secured
padded room and even then I'm sure my little angel would run and fall into the wall at some odd angle
managing to hurt himself... So back to making our apartment earthquake proof, my son identified a nearly lethal
hazard today as he mnaged to pull a large 6 foot mirror down onto himself and smash it on his head.
Id like to hope that maybe it's just a phase but somehow I doubt it.
Ps. Of course he's fine, the tiniest scratch on his chin and a small bruise on his forehead, I however feel like I have aged a couple extra years

Oh I think I can post woo hoo....so Heston must for sure be related to your brother, when he was a bit younger than Heston he pushed himself across a very plush carpet in a walker and went down a full set of stairs, ending up upside down with his fat little legs sticking up kicking away...only a small scrap on forehead as the walls were that knock down stucco stuff1
