Because Rachel fall down boom!

"because Rachel fall down boom!" is my daughter's longest sentence yet. This is her fifth (yikes) fall off our now infamous bed. Not even the extra section set up by my father to cover the space bwteen my side of the bed and the wall helped, because Rachel fell off the foot of the bed. If this continues on, we might not even have an access to our own bed, as my father will build a wall to protect his grandchild from further falling.

Her first fall was "caused" by Rueben, the second was by me, the third time she actually rolled off the bed while sleeping alone on our queen sized + extended section bed - she was THAT active during her sleep! Then, we got smart and placed cushioned mats on the floor area surrounding the bed at night. But, her fourth (and fifth!) fall happened during the day, when she was jumping on the bed.

I'm seriously running out of ideas to baby-proof the home. Maybe we should just close the bedroom door ... but won't that make our already small apartment even smaller and more stuffy?
