Mothering Corner

I have always thought that my home is the safest place on earth, but sometimes, it is full of danger for every young children. I have a curious little toddler who never fails to surprise me with all her “action-packed” stunned acts that almost give me a heart attack occasionally.

We have done a few precautions in preventing her from hurting herself. Most importantly, we have to prevent her from falling off from the 2nd floor to the living room.

 

See the rows of hole below the planting area of the second floor? My kids can easily squeeze themselves through it and risk falling off to the living room downstairs. So, MIL blocked them with some fencing net.

Then, I have to make sure that all the unused sockets are covered by with a childproof plugs and the network cables are hidden behind furnitures or stuffs that my toddler cannot remove them easily and get her hands on them.

 But I really need to organize and tidy up those cables in my room because my kids spend the most time here. We will rearrange the room this afternoon.

To prevent her from falling off the staircase, we are a gate install at the upper part of the staircase. But most of the time, we hardly use it even if it’s been there since my boy was born.

 Some mothers are wondering how can I blog so much and take care of my kids at the same time? Besides the room, my kids have a playroom. When I’m doing other chores, or having my meals, my kids will be playing in there. See the door?

It’s transparent, but can be locked from outside. All the sockets are well hidden away disable. There are no dangerous stuffs being placed in there, so I can ensure that my kids are safely playing inside, while I get myself a few minutes to get things done. But I don’t advise this for younger baby as you don’t know what the other older kid will do on her, accident might happen. So, it’s only for a few minutes without supervision, I’m also very kiasi about my kids.
