Gud, are your windows double-hung? For a couple of years we opened ours from the top and installed window locks to hold them in that position.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Oh Gud, how frightening...
Scared the crap out of me.

Nope. I might be able to put a nail in the sill to limit the amount a window can open. But then there isn't all that much airflow.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
iTunes has failed me. I shall weep. And go to work.
Can children be embedded with special alarms that start to wail when they think about doing something dangerous? Maybe a light tranq as well. How very very scary.

What is even happening?
Oh, Gud!

In the city we have window gates for the littles. Would that look rediculous in the heartland? [link]

There was also the incident where he went to the refigerator, took out an egg, smashed against the roof of the refigerator, and then took off. Much less scary, but quite messy.

We might have to get a window gate. Although hopefully he'll out grow this stuff. Also, he can work every "childproof" device in the house, including the other gates.

Trust my rage
So, I could use some advice from the buffistae...
I think everyone knows that I'm a) expecting a baby in 6 weeks and b) planning on taking the bar exam 6 weeks after that. Obviously, the baby arrival date could move up, but should not be any later than 7 weeks from now. At the least, the baby should be 5 weeks old by the time I take the exam. The exam is all day and you can't leave until the end.
I'm worried about breastfeeding/pumping during the exam. Right now, I've filed an accomodation request with the bar examiners. They decided I can use the pump but not breastfeed the baby during the exam. How likely is it that I won't be able to get the baby to take a bottle in 5 weeks?
I'm upset about the no-nursing thing - mainly because I've never done it before, I have a million other things to worry about, and I don't see what they won't let me (and if I can't get the baby to take a bottle, no bar exam for me.) Am I being unreasonable? Is it worth the hassle of trying to get them to allow me that possibility? Does this count as a genuine "special accomodation"?

They're screwed into the frame. Just keep him away from power tools.
