Jo is fascinated with closing and opening doors. Unless we are getting ready for nap or night I like to keep her door open. I submit to you Pinterest project #1: the pool noodle door stop.

We took the spring door stop off because I didn’t want her to pinch her little fingers. Then she realized she could bang the door handle against the wall… which brings us to Pinterest project #2: the pool noodle knob cover.

Jo put some lovely gnaw marks on the rails of her crib which I am sure we will look at nostalgically some day. In the meantime, however, I don’t want her to damage all those teeth or eat whatever chemical stain coating it has. This as a product can cost up to $80! This, Pinterest project #3, cost $9 and about 30 minutes.
