Guest guest Posted April 18, 1999 Report Share Posted April 18, 1999 , Wow! What a creative boy you have. He really used his resources, didn't he? I am sure you are looking forward to your dh being home. I hope the time goes quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 1999 Report Share Posted April 18, 1999 , You can sound like our mother's! It is okay with me. You are trying to keep our children safe and I appreciate the concern. I had to delete many posts lately, so if you gave me an address that I can send that brachail plexis injury info to, I missed it. I will look for it again. I see so many needless injuries and deaths from simple, everyday, household stuff it makes me sick. I feel that we have a fairly safe home for my kids, but I notice that when other kids come over, I realize some problem areas. We still have things to do, I appreciate the push.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 1999 Report Share Posted April 18, 1999 , That is so scary. I am so sorry. Thankfully he wasn't hurt. What a close call. Zaid is so quiet when he is getting into trouble it really scares me. I am glad he is alright. Wendi Fire! Totally not breastfeeding related, but my sweet, innocent 16 m/o son nearly set himself on fire yesterday evening! He managed to pull a table chair over to our gas stove without making any noise. It's not unusual though for him to push chairs around in the kitchen, since normally, hes moving them to be able to reach something on the table, or to see whats in the sink... When I heard the stove " click " to light the burners, I raced into the kitchen to meet my daughter standing in the doorway saying, " Look what s doing! " to which I shouted MOVE! at least fifteen times. By the time I could reach him, he had ignited a few things on the stove. After dinner, I had moved the napkin holder onto the stove to wipe off the table and hadn't put it back. All the napkins were in a blaze. A hotpad was near the burner, and it was on fire. There was a magazine under the napkin holder which also caught fire... and my son's shirt was smoldering but not burning... AND, he got a nifty little " haircut " on his bangs! We were all shaken up by the sight, and did get " clingy " for all of 20 minutes. I promptly called my DH who is in Texas and told him he had to take the next flight home -- after all, he's a fire fighter! lol Too bad the military doesn't see the urgency and need to keep families with young children together!! I would do anything at this point to have him home where I would be quite pleased if all he did were to sit on the couch all day -- at least there'd be one more pair of eyes to help " direct traffic " and keep my kids from wandering to places they needn't be!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New hobbies?

After doing daycare for several years, I generally do leave a gate on the kitchen entrance. However, here, it's in a central part of the house, and divide the house almost... the kids have to go through it to get from the living room to their bedrooms. At the time he did this, it was almost time for them to go to bed, so I didn't have it gated. :/ Sharp objects are actually in a locked drawer! Not a childproof cabinet lock, but a keyed lock. My first child managed to find our knives and would take them outside to play with!! I learned that lesson awfully fast. >While I'm on a roll here, LOL! >You can get a bracket to hook to the back of your stove and the wall to >prevent the tipping over. > I never knew that there was a bracket for the stove! Great idea!! Where do you get them? Please tell me I can order them by mail. >Same is true regarding TV sets tipping over on children. Scoot them back on >their tables, or fasten them down. > And aquariums, too! Thanks for the reminders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Since we're on the subject of fire, I thought I'd tell you what I DID the other night, which scared the pee out of me. I was sterilizing my breast pump on the stove. Well, decided she was hungry, so I sat down to feed her and read my e-mail. So about 30-45 minutes later all 3 of my smoke detectors started going crazy! I had forgoten the pump and sat down and RAN to the kitchen, MY OVEN WAS ON FIRE! Luckily I was able to put it out, and only my sauce pan, pump, and stove was burnt. I was so scared and so thankful at the same time that my smoke detectors warned me! and I were the only ones home and I don't know what I'd done if the fire had been too out of hand! My kitchen was and still is a mess. And to top it all off, yesterday was my first anniversary. My dh was mad, just happy that nor I was hurt. He says it was an accident. My just glad I'm so lucky to have an understanding husband! Well, enough rambling. <3, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
