Have a Toddler?...Read on...

We all have incredibly good ideas on occasion. And sometimes these ideas are so good that we have to share it with others (and maybe get their feedback). This is one of those times. While cleaning up and arranging our garage (a late entry into the "things I don't miss" post would have to be no garage...it has been simply wonderful to have a place to put both of our cars away from the hot Arizona sun) I came across something that I procured in order to keep pigeons from roosting in a little nook above our garage.

I love our new garage

I'm still working out the details of how I'm going to attach it to the roof to keep them from living there and pooping all over our driveway, but that's the subject of another entry. While looking at these little devices I thought back to the many conversations I've had with siblings and friends about how their little toddlers at some point start trying to get out of their cribs. From what I understand it is somewhat annoying to no longer be able to keep them in their crib at nap-time, but more importantly it is frightening to think of how they might hurt themselves when they awkwardly flip over the railing and onto the floor. For this reason...the protection of my sweet little Samantha in several months...I plan on not only installing these on the roof to keep the pigeons at bay, but also on the top edge of her crib to protect her from her adventurous self! (at least until we can teach her to safely dismount the crib or get her a big girl bed)

The locals call these pigeon spikes...Baby protector is how we refer to them in BrownTown

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Obviously I think this idea is brilliant, but thought I might get a little feedback before beginning my marketing campaign in earnest. If you couldn't tell already, this is Chris...I'm not going to let Linzi take credit for this goldmine of an idea.
