Number 12: Anything in a bottle with a supposed “Child Protective Cap.” They may SAY it’s childproof, but toddlers have genes similar to Houdini. No joke.
Number 11: A beverage not in a child cup. If they can reach it, don’t even try to save it. Just get towels. STAT.
Number 10: Anything weighing more than a couple pounds. Don’t be fooled by their small stature, they could play for the majors. If you value your forehead, put heavy objects out of the way.
Number 8: Writing implements of any kind. See that picture? That’s why.
Number 7: A dangly cord. Toddlers are like miniature Indiana Jones’, with ninja-like skills that can take down your breakables in a single bound. Or your eye, whatever, it’s of no concern to them once they start flingin’.
Number 6: Baby wipes, if you expect to have anymore after she gets done with ’em, put ’em up.
Number 5: Same goes with make up.
Number 4: And with nail polish. (Don’t ask how I know this…)
Number 3: Toilet paper. Your toddler loves to play mummy with your entire house.
Number 2: Your wallet and keys. It’s never fun to scour the house to try to find your ID card or driver’s license so you can leave the house.
And the Number 1 thing you don’t leave around your toddler….
