But seriously folks!

We babyproofed our place for The Older Boy, and of course as he grew up and got more trustworthy, we removed a lot of it, so by the time we moved to our next place, just before The Younger Boy was born, we did minimal babyproofing. Then, when The Younger Boy reached the age of mobility, we started re-babyproofing the new place and The Older Boy pitched a fit because we were making things so much harder for HIM to reach. So we relented, and The Younger Boy didn't stick any forks in sockets, or fall off a couch and crack his head open etc. So, there's that.

Funny story - when we were buying our current house, TYB was 2 1/2. We had just put together an offer and it turned out there was an Open House that day, so we went. The house has a shed built onto the side of the house, a lean-to shed. TYB went into it and locked it from the inside. The agent didn't have a key to it, and after a few minutes of trying to get him to unlock the door, he became more and more upset - because he didn't realize what he'd done, so he didn't know how to undo it. The agent called the Fire Department, who got there in just a few minutes, JUST as TYB unlocked the door.. Mrs. GJ said, "We HAVE to buy it now!" And we were both favorably impressed by how fast the FD got there!
