Hard To Watch

My little guy turns 6 months tomorrow and is getting mobile. I am so proud but now as I look around I don't see a friendly house anymore, I see death traps. It has already been made clear that given any situation Dylan will head straight for the most dangerous thing available. The other day I thought I was being clever as I baby proofed his room. All sharp corners were covered and he was placed on his friendly rug surrounded by a large variety of developmental toys. I left for a second to grab a cup of coffee and let him play on his own. When I came back a few minutes later however I realized that he had ignored all of his toys and went straight for his diaper bag on the top shelf of his changing table. When I found him he was laying on his back with diapers covering his face and laughing.
My instinct is to bubble wrap everything in the house but I know that I would be actually doing him a dis-service. I know that bumps and scrapes are teaching him valuable life lessons but as a loving mother .. it is hard to watch.
