Zone De-Fence

While visiting our home earlier this year, our nephew Levi displayed amazing mobility. I wondered aloud how difficult it wound be to control two boys once they could crawl and walk. My brother, Steve’s, advice was a zone defense. Limit the babies’ borders to a room or two and you limit the area for chasing and cleaning. This seemed amazingly sensible. Now that we have reached the point where the twins are crawling and boldly going where they’ve never been before, Sandy ventured into our basement and returned with two baby gates. We previously purchased these gates several years ago to hold her elderly cat, Fred, and have since stored them just for this baby occasion. They work perfectly, not only limiting the children’s play area, but giving Mommy and Daddy an aerobic workout every time we have to step over them to pass through the house.
