If they're not complaining, then you're lucky. Ella yelled and screamed in her huge playpen we got her and of course, I crumbled and took her everywhere I went in the house. I'm now paying dearly for that as she thinks it's her right to watch me poop & pee :) All the best and YaY for the vino :) Ok, you seriously lucked out. If they’re not complaining, then you’re lucky.

I try to hide as much of it as possible. If only the babies would play with the aesthetically pleasing stuff. I've taken to chucking things behind the couch and hoping they just forget it existed. :) I have a free range baby right now, but come that first birthday, she'll be caged for sure! Ugh, the plastic.

I will abstain from doing that'), and right now I'm sure they won't sustain any trauma that they'll remember to tell a therapist when they've grown. A sane mother who doesn't have to worry about tripping over tiny feet while running off to the loo is much more important right now than free reign of the house if you ask me! High five! -Kate (nanny of a three year old and one year old twins for my last semester in college) Shoot, they’re going to have plenty of time to be free-range when they get older (and have developed enough rational thinking to say ‘no, that will cause me grievous bodily harm.
