soften the corners.


we bought our first bit of baby proofing today. we've been worried that mercer will fall and hit his head on one of our coffee table corners, so we got these padded things that you stick on with double-sided tape. so far, mercer has targeted these ugly things as new objects for sucking. pop tried to move in on mercer's new suck toys, but he was slapped away each time. they're not the prettiest things, but it gives us a little peace of mind that a simple accident won't turn into a major emergency. but we have to say that the amount of baby proofing products out there is simply ridiculous. i think some basic parenting goes a long way and it seems that a lot of lazy parents would rather blanket their houses with baby proofing than discipline their kids by saying "no."

anyway. sleep tight.
