Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Baby proofing

I'd just like to state (for the sake of the previous post) that I have that kitchen heavily baby proofed. I have stuff on the oven so they can't turn the knobs, something for the fridge so they can't open it, and a baby gate for each opening. I am still looking for something to baby proof the water dispenser, so if you know of anything PLEASE let me know. Emily likes to grab one of her little chairs and climb the fences. I thought about taking those away, but then I realized that she will just use her radio rocket (has wheels, not a good idea). And if I took that away we have countless other things we could climb (dolly stroller, toy grocery cart, etc.). And a higher fence, just more dangerous to climb. So, I keep it up to keep the baby out of most of the messes and to slow Emily down. Lets just say that I took the fence down for all of 5 min and accidentally left the butter on the counter.
