Baby Proofing!

Our landlord in Edmonton is not at all understanding about baby proofing. She didn't want any holes in any non-sheetrock surface. I can understand the concern, but that would mean no baby gates on the stairs. So, the Engineer devised a way to babyproof the stairs without a single hole to her precious banister! He wrapped the posts in wood, secured by huge bolts in order to get a wood surface to screw the gate into. Yeah Michael!!


Thankfully, the walls of the stairs leading to the basement are sheetrock and didn't need some crazy engineering feat. Olivia still needed to oversee Daddy's work.

My 1-year old nephew JUST got a "toddler fracture" in his right leg because he missed two steps on his staircase (no babygate!). He is in a full-leg cast for 3 weeks now. You are VERY wise to figure out a way to have the baby gate!
