Robert spent his Saturday, not sledding like he wanted, but helping me rearrange the furniture. What a guy! He really DOES love me :)
Part of the reason we wanted to rearrange (and by WE I mean I) was so that Edgar had fewer cords to play with. He thinks its about time to crawl. As we all know, it is a headache to try to contain cords. Zip ties and strings only help temporarily, but end up as loopy tangles. Plus, little hands and mouths can still get to them. SO, I invented a new solution(I think I am a genius). Necessity, my mom told me, is the mother of invention. It is simply a wide strip of fabric long enough to reach from, in my case, from the plug to the printer. Then you cram a zipper(or buttons, or ties) and zip the tube of fabric around all those ugly tangled cords and HIDE AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS!! g'won, do it! Or, heck, maybe I'll start selling them! Want one? 6Bucks, since you're my friends. I'll also make ya pacifier straps, burp rags, baby hair bows, reversible headbands, brooches, even personalized pendants to wear on necklaces if ya want em. Once I find my camera, I'll put up pictures. Interested? Let me know. I want to try baby boy ties too...hmm

While I am a firm believer in the 'let 'em eat it and find out' school of parenting, I believe electricity is one of the things it doesn't work with. Well done with creative solutions!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he has sucked on dog toys, the dog, the edge of the table at a restaurant, even barbecue sauce. But, I really don't want him to figure out electricity with his mouth...
ReplyDeleteTotally interested! you are a genius. We ended up having to put our computer in our bedroom and she is not allowed in there without constant supervision. I might go crazy if I only have a kitchen and a toy room to work with when I have two. It sure would be nice to not have to worry about cords.
ReplyDeleteBravo .It would also help old ladies so they dont get frustrated tying to figure out what goes were
ReplyDeletethat sounds interesting. i cant picture it in my head but please make me one! :)
ReplyDeleteOk, think of it as a tube from a roll of wrapping paper with a zipper all the way down. That way you can open it up and hide the cords inside
ReplyDeleteNecessity is the mother of invention and CRAFTING!
