I didn't babyproof to any real extent either. Stairgate on kitchen door and stairgatre at bottom of the stairs. That was it. She's 4 now and she's survived ok!

Same here with DD who is 8, but DS (9 months) is a different kettle of fish!! To be fair, the only extra I have had to do is move some ornaments/pics etc, and hide some wires..... :eek:

Nah, we never bothered, I figure a bit of pain focuses the mind into learning quicker. Seems to have worked with our 2.

We do have stair gates and a fire guard, but that's it. We did move all really sharp things from bottom draws also.

This reminds me of the time my daughter learned PDQ that cactus had spines! I was sick to death of telling her to stop pulling the house plant to bits, so I lined up all my cactus on the windowsill. She went straight for them, ouch!!:D She never touched a plant after that!! Result!:) There were far less "aids" when mine were small, so we tended to teach them not to touch things. I had a playpen and one of those big square fireguards (real fires then!!!!) but that was about all really.
