I Have a Proclivity for Dropping Stuff.

I recently read a childproofing article that seemed over-the-top for our immediate newborn needs. I’m not so worried about a burrito-bundled Peanut sticking anything into an outlet just yet, nor do I feel the need to cover all sharp furniture edges and corners with bumpers or safety padding. But this one stuck out: put a thick rug or carpet below the changing table. As the Computer Nook becomes the Baby Nook we will need to do something about the ceramic tile under the desk-about-to-become-a-changing-table.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by yet another item we still need (surprisingly), I’m actually enjoying window shopping the web.

Is this not adorable and in-theme? But, dear Target, what size is he?

This, on the other hand, I know is perfectly sized for our tile space. I wish web-view colors were true-to-life so I could see how well it matches my beloved animal prints.

Please, just don’t remind Tim that the area in question was once carpeted and it was my idea—after dropping bleach—to engage in the nightmare tile installation in front of the washer and dryer where I’m now about put an area rug. Thanks.
