I thought we were safe

I used to be so proud of Jeffrey. All the other little toddlers I know like to throw things away- the remote, car keys- you know what I mean. Well Jeffrey was so good at not doing that! He loves to take his diaper when I'm done changing him and throw that away, and he transfers things from the recycling bin to the garbage can, but thats no big deal. Well, I couldn't find my keys today and I thought, well maybe Jeffrey put them in the garbage.
Guess what I found!
Nope, not the keys....but I did find a book cover, 4 or 5 different small toys, a sock, and some of Brocks super expensive coins! EEK! We have a garbage baby now...I was really looking forward to not having to worry about that. *sigh* Oh well. So, any good suggestions on toddler proofing garbage cans?
On a different note...I dont think I've posted on here yet what kind of baby is going to join us in January!! (my due date is the 19th).
We're having a little girl! (I think most of you know that already, but now its official- it's on my blog!) :) We can't wait for the little princess to be here!
Oh, one more thing! Not that this is super important...but I'm excited about it!
Growing up, I loved it when I would go to friends' houses and they had candy bowls there...I'm a bit of a sugarholic...So I decided to do it too! Today I went and bought some candy corn and some orange and black M&Ms to set out. Yay! We dont have much by way of guests here...so they're mostly for me. But I'm ok with that!
I can't wait for Halloween!!

Yay! Congrats on the baby girl! When is your due date?

Sorry, no tips on the garbage thing. Maya never went through that stage, thank goodness! The only thing I can suggest is does your garbage can have a lid? If you have the kind that you have to step on the pedal to flip open the lid, it might be a bit harder for him to get into it. Good luck with that!

You may have to resort to keeping the garbage can on the table for a while. We had to do that. And since I have 6 kids, anything I say is gospel.

Baby Girl! Hurray! Will this be your little Sarah? We're SO happy for you guys!

PS: I can't help think you may have been referring to Benjamin when introducing the fun-with-garbage-can thing. ;) Bummer Jeffry's doing it too. Tips? Second time around we'll make sure the garbage has a lid-- as hard for kiddo to get into as possible, without being too hard for us. Also, always double check the bag before taking it out. It's was a fairly short phase, though. Hopefully Jeffry will lose interest sooner than later!
