ds is 16 months and just started walking / staggering. after the most stressful week of my life on holiday (ds ate mouse bait, face planted in the pool several times, pushed high chair over while in it and hit face on edge of coffee table - ALL while I was within a couple of feet of him) I am now a nervous wreck and eyeing up the house for all the lethal things that will break my pfb.
in particular I have a wooden toy chest that is at perfect stumbling-into level. it is in front of the fireplace, which is replete with coal, metal grate etc. do I move the toy box and do something to the fireplace? do I keep the toy box in place and pad the edge somehow (aesthetics be damned). do I just accept that he is going to fall and hit himself on it at some point, cos he will I know. he climbs all the time, is trying to run / feet going too fast for him and is generally delighting in his new found powers!
