baby proofing my house

Now, I have to start baby proofing my house...OMG!!! that little man is soooo active...he likes to play with anytg in the house except his toys n books...he lost interest in those things now..well, he will play with it if I stay with him..but once Im off to the kitchen or tidying up the house, that little man will follow me around...nowadays his clothes' basket is his fave, then his toiletries basket..the safety gates at the kitchen n stairs are his place to swing like a monkey...

last night he was quite funny..i was in the kitchen n he was outside..he wanted to come into the kitchen to play with the onion, potatoes etc...but as the gate was locked, he pushed his leg between the bars as far as he can n try to see whether he can fit into it or not..hahaha..then when it failed, he reached his hands n arms btween the bars n tried to squeeze his shoulder...hahahah..so funny...when he failed, he reached btween n grab anytg that he can reach n play with it..he pushed the "tong beras", he throw my slippers.he grab the rug...when he was bored, he went n played with other things..dushh

this morning, he woke up early n started to disrupt the house....I was cooking his meal..he was playing with his basket when all was quiet..so I look in, he was playing with "bedak sejuk"which he had already crushed to dust..its all over his clothes, n leg, n hands...when I asked him what is he playing with, he just smiles...n rub the bedak to his face..my boy!!!
he wants anytg that he knows he shouldnt play with...huhuhu..i dont know how opah is gonna stand these 2days weeknd as opah's house is soo full of thgs for the Ayah Jie's wedding ur next bday zaffran....unlike our house, opah;s house doesnt hv gate into the kitchen..so alllll of us has to follow u around or u will pull opah's flowers. slam opah's vase...mati la ibu nk gnti nnti...huhuu...

anyway, its time to child proof ur house ..

some tips for that ..

i got some tips from parenting weekly bout child proofing my house

• Crawl around your house and determine which locations and objects might be dangerous to your baby. What will your baby be able to reach as he grows? What will she be able to get into, pull down, put in her mouth, and climb into and onto?- great idea...kn buat gaks nih...aku rs sumer dia boleh buat...

• Apply plugs or safety covers in all electrical outlets - dia sgt suke main dgn plug..suker trik2 plug esp plug machine...riso kn short jer

• Install latches on all cabinets and drawers within baby's reach and make sure that all knobs, pulls, and knockers are secure and can't be pulled off. - ini pun harus ku buat sb si knit itu suka buka ttp anytg yg boleh buka...esp kbinet pggn mgkuk ku..lst wekk dia dah amik jag kristal ku dan hmpuk..nsib tk pcah..huhuhu anakku anakku...kn cri d littlewhiz ni...
  

• Wind up all dangling cords, wiring, and tassels. Move electrical cords and wiring behind furniture where they cannot be reached.- tp buknnyer dia tk pndi tarik..wayar astro abis dia tarik...
  

• Install stove knob covers, stove top protectors, and oven locks if necessary.- oh ku tkde ini...
  

• Remove all heavy, small, breakable, or valuable objects that may be toppled off tabletops; and any space heaters, fans, or other hazards that can be reached.- huhu...dah tkde dah bnda2 sng pch ni..abis smpn...
  

• Move houseplants out of reach.- kaktus di tepi tgkap itu, tk lm lg kn ubah lerrr...
  

• Anchor all bookcases, shelves, dressers, and floor lamps to walls.- rumah sewa boleh ker?tggu rmh sndri kot....tp almari buku ku abis ditarik nyer sume buku2..huhuh
  

• Use corner covers to pad sharp edges on furniture, railings, etc.- stkt ni tkde lg...
  

• Use door stops to prevent open doors from slamming shut on your baby.- hmm..kna cri juga ni..
  

• Install and use locks or hook-and-eye sets onto doors so your baby can't get into the pantry, bathroom, basement, or other rooms. Sliding door locks are also available.- haa..ini biliik air....disebbkn kayu umah ku itu sgt kras, so tk boleh nk paku kayu tuh.ibuku tlh mgikatkn tali di pntu utk diikat ttp pntu itu ke paip mesin bsuh..huhu.tq umiii..
  

• Install gates to block access to stairways, fireplaces, and all other hazards. Some gates can be installed without drilling holes in walls or door jams.- mmg pun..dah buat..2 lg gats...nk bli utk tgga atas laks..
  

• Dump out any buckets containing water and remove or block access to any other standing water such as toilets and fish tanks. Infants can drown in as little as two inches of water, and according to the CPSC, fifty young children drown every year in buckets containing water used for mopping floors and other household chores. Install a banister guard or safety net to a balcony or railing that is not child-safe. - ini abhnyer..suke sgt biar air pnuh dlm bldi..bahya wehh..tk larat nak ghoyak dah....
  

• Install window guards, which will prevent low windows from opening more than six inches.- ohoho....harus buat ni...tgkap bilik...
  

• Make sure that all your baby equipment and toys meet current safety standards.
  

• Stock your house with first aid supplies. Ask your doctor what he or she recommends you include for your baby.- ader tsmpn kms....
  

• Install smoke detectors in the hallway near every bedroom and one near the kitchen. Check them monthly to be sure they're working properly and change the batteries every six months. A working smoke detector cuts the chances of dying in a fire in half.- owhh tkde lg ni...nnti la umah bru nnti...
  

• Have your home checked for lead and asbestos.- ader ke bnda ni lg?
  

• Test your water. Depending on the results, consider installing a purifier or talk to your doctor about sterilizing your baby's bottles and pacifiers.

• Store cosmetics, perfumes, hair care products, vitamins, and medicines in locked cabinets and drawers. Install toilet latches so your baby cannot lift the lid and do not use or store any electrical appliance near the bathtub or sink. In the bathtub, install childproof knob covers, non-skid appliqués or a rubber bath mat, and a soft spout cover on the spigot.

• Keep hot containers and drinks out of your baby's reach and unplug countertop appliances after use. Install locks on all low cabinets and drawers, as well as on the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and trash compactor. When cooking always turn pot handles towards the back of the stove, and keep knives, sharp utensils, and cleaning products out of your baby's reach. Make sure your baby's high chair safety belt and tray are in working condition and you secure your baby in the chair at every meal and snack.
