Ah, the new era of crawling. For Bryan, his newly discovered mobility has lent him the ability to explore ever further in areas he’s never been to before — by himself. I try letting Bryan make his own mistakes as he continues his quests of discovering new objects and their uses (with adult supervision, of course), but these painful lessons sure take time to stick sometimes.
He has crawled pretty close to our cats water bowl a few times. But the kitchen seems like a bad idea for him to be around anyway. So we’ll be getting one of those adjustable gates to block his entrance to the kitchen for as long as possible, knowing fully that sooner or later he’s going to figure out how to dismantle the fence with brute force.
We’ve already moved our mini rack of wine collections near the entrance of the living room to where the bookshelf is. It’s a lot less accessible until Bryan discovers THAT part of the room. Until then, our 1997 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classicos are safe.
