Yesterday, as I was snapping photos in the living room, Red crawled away from his toys, all the way across the room to something he wasn't supposed to touch at all: The wall outlets. ...but the nightlight is soooo shiny, Mom! Yes, it may be shiny, Red, but it's still a no no in this … [Read more...]
