They say when you become a parent for the first time, you are extra cautious. You have top-of-the-line everything from your diapers to the stroller. The hottest baby gadgets to hit the market fill your home. Every baby book is read from cover to cover. Every sharp corner is cushioned and stairway gated. Come your second, things get a bit more lax. Whoops – the pacifier fell on the floor, but there is no need to worry, for the 5 second rule is always in effect.

Oh and all those other issues that arise with the binkies, too. But it was breaking our hearts to take it away, even though we knew it was for her own good.

At our local mall, they have a great tot lot that my daughter LOVES! They have these crazy things she can climb on, a slide (her favorite, of course) and a spongy, bouncy floor.
