AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

Everyone says that the only reason we have more than one child, is that we forget everything from the last one. I don't know that that's true - there are an awful lot of things I'll miss about having a baby around. However one of the things I had most certainly forgotten was the mass of toys that can be found EVERYWHERE in the house when a baby comes along.

The boys are bad enough about having weapons and Legos out, but they're usually at least in a osrt of ordered-chaos (or as I like to call them, 'piles of organization'). But with babies, you tend to just have baby things - mostly toys - out everyplace you might possibly be with the baby. So not a square foot of floor (or sitting) space is without some baby toy, or binky, or bib, or package of wipes. I find myself shuffling through the house, in order to push the toys out of my way, instead of trying to step between them like some sort of Sesame Street Gauntlet.
