When your little one becomes mobile, it is a whole new world. You will enter uncharted territory. Here is a little advice I can offer of something that I have learned recently. Seasoned parents will be nodding at the computer monitor to this tip.

Check your garbage before taking it to the curb. The garbage is now a big container that is so much fun to throw everything into. We have found the TV remote control, countless toys, and many refrigerator magnets. From now on, you might want to bag anything that makes a mess in the garbage like coffee grounds since you might be digging through it to look for that lost controller or phone. No garbage can is safe at our house. We may have to look into one with a lid and foot pedal.
