Today my
Bubble Wrapped Babies piece was published on the Huffington Post. So far I am digging the comments, which are mostly reasonable. However, I fully expect some over-anxious vigilante to remark that I am putting hundreds of young babes in danger by advocating free access to electrical outlets and hot stoves.
I totally agree with you. My kids are generally all banged up from being clumsy toddlers, and I think it's helped them learn more about how their bodies work. Of course, I cringe each time I see their little legs covered in bruises. But that doesn't stop me from watching them run into a wall, and then saying, "See? That's why you have to watch where you're going."
