Yes, we are THOSE parents!

Or more accurately, my husband is THAT father, and I love him for it!  When picking up the boys from daycare the other day, Scott noticed that a push pin from the bulletin board was on the floor.  Granted, the area where the bulletin board, coat hooks/cubbies, etc is located is blocked off so the babies can't stray into that area.  However, the push pin on the floor was a little too close to the gate, and babies do crawl awfully close, possibly close enough to where they could have reached for the push pin.  Scott picked up the push pin but after thinking more about it, decided that it wasn't safe, as a baby could mistake the brightly colored round pin for a puff or something equally as yummy (ha ha - have you ever tried those things??).  So he discussed with the day care workers and now the director has agreed to pay for a different type of push pin so there are no accidents.  They might change their minds when they realize that the safer pins (bigger pins that push into the cork board but actually have a clip where the paper gets attached) are about $1 each! 

Just one of the many reasons Scott is a fantastic father - it doesn't matter how big or small the issue, if it could remotely affect the safety of our boys he is going to find a way to fix it!
