I really wanted to do Mary's Monday Challenge over at Owlhaven, but my semi-cooperative camera kept giving me "card error". Instead, I decided to participate in Shannon's Works For Me Wednesday at Rocks In My Dryer because I could find an image online. Take that you stupid camera!
And what great parenting treasure might this be? This is my special laundry helper, or rather my make-less-laundry helper. I love how easy velcro closure bibs go on and off, but, unfortunately, so does my toddler. After one too many spaghetti sauce on the shirt experiences, I discovered this little item. Offically called a "binder clip", this ingenius invention can quickly secure a bib in a most satifyingly toddler proof way. Best of all, I only have to use it a couple times for her to assume her bibs are no longer removeable, at least for a few days. Your child, of course, may be smarter or have eyes in the back of his/her head. Works for me!
BRILLIANT!!! What a great tip!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!! I have always liked the tie on bibs, just so they couldn't take them off. My 1-year old only takes hers off when she is mad. (That quickly signals the end of meal time). You are so clever!! Sorry about the camera. Can't wait to see your favorite photos from your house.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had thought of this 2 years ago. My daughter, now 3 would NEVER keep a bib on.
ReplyDeleteNettie--we tried your kielbasa soup for dinner tonight. My family gives it two thumbs up. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose are binder clips? I use those to close up an opened bag of Cheetoes (is there any other kind?) because I'm too cheap to buy official "chip clips".
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to have to try this!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the chip clip ideas. That way I'd know where to steal one for the bib, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea!!!! I am sooooo doing this one!!!
ReplyDeletethat is pretty darn smart.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea and so timely for me. My daughter is just beginning to learn how to take hers off. Maybe I can nip it in the bud before she really gets it learned. And being that I work for an office supply company, I know where I can get a bunch for real cheap. :-)
