Playground Swings

I remember loving the playground as a child.  Most of our  time was spent honing our swinging skills. After all, we had to be ready at a moments notice for the "highest swinger" and the "farthest jumper" competitions.  We also loved to twist the swing until it could not twist anymore, just to see how many times we could make it untwist, for dizziness sake! 
As I watch Jude loving his bucket swing, I have no doubt that he will be moving onto the "big kid" swing in no time, and discovering his own daring stunts. 
Can't wait,
Bubbie and Jude!
P.S. What do your grandbabies love to do at the playground?

Child Proofing House For Babies


Blind winder cord...check!  Socket covers, corner cushions, super stopper, finger guard, lever lock,...check, check, check, check check! I actually believed I had outwitted this little one.  I still don't know how I missed the "more fun than a barrel of monkeys" springy door stopper, with removable cap?"  Thank goodness, my grandson stopped by the house to point it out.  It didn't take him more than a few minutes scoping out the room, to discover the one and only unsafe item for toddlers !  After he spent a half hour being totally amused by the spring yelling, "boing" every 3 seconds, I tried to distract him with everything and anything.
Bubbie's lesson for the day: There is no toy, children's video, fluffy talking/singing plush, or tempting treat that can entice a toddler away from something they shouldn't be playing with...so, give it up!
Best regards,
Bubbie
P.S.  Have you found some great gadgets that really work, for keeping your honey safer?
