We live in a two story house, and we need to keep Nico off the stairs. Now that he’s starting to move independently, we’re looking into stair gates. Candice likes this one, but I think it’s too flimsy, and he’ll climb up it and push it over and fall down the stairs. I prefer one that screws into the wall, like so, but that one has been marked down over 75% (what’s wrong with it?).

Anyone have any suggestions? Other than proper parental supervision, of course (just kidding).

Here’s to my cell phone, Verizon LG.
You were compact, reliable and will be missed by me.
Hopefully, I can use you again if I ever get you unlocked.
Yes, Nicholas managed to do that and for that I should be mocked.

If the epitaph didn’t clue you in, I am without a usable cell phone. No, I didn’t lose it or destroy it. Nicholas loves to play with both our cell phones and when I wasn’t watching he managing to lock mine and set a passcode. Now, I don’t have an easy way to unlock my phone to check missed calls, voicemail messages, make or receive calls or text messages. Pretty much I am unable to make any calls unless I need to call 9-1-1. Therefore, until I can randomly type in the appropriate passcode or look over the manual to determine if there is a way around it I will have to live with communicating via email and facebook.
