Gumba's Cage

We finally did it, made our stairs and banister baby safe. We decided to go with lattice. We had other not so cleaver, visually appealing, and cheaper ideas, but we figured there would be more than one child and therefore should fine something we could live with for several years. Especially since I told Husband I was through with moving for the next two decades or so. Yes the lattice is very secure, it's made out of hard plastic so baby can't break it. Also, notice the cute cat escape hatch on the bottom left corner. Husband thought Jasper should have the option of not being around us/have access to the litter box whenever he wanted. I don't think we have to worry about a baby falling through the little hole. Here are before and after pictures. I'm also going to have Husband put sliding face plates on the outlets. When asked why since we have the outlet plug covers, I told him Gumba would eventually unplug something, and then we'd have a free outlet for his cute small fingers to explore. That's the next item on the baby proofing list.

Wow! That really brightens up the place. You'll really enjoy it during the long, dark winter months.

I'm sure Connor will appreciate Jasper's escage hatch too. It looks as if it's the perfect place to shove toys through. Leave it to you two to offer Connor such a wonderful way to entertain himself!

Which brings to mind your father pulling toys from the forced air vents at the old house. Memories.

We never considered having to fetch toys from the stairs. Guess we should have thought harder!
