"88- Learn not to leave stuff in the reach of little hands."
I learned this the hard way - though it wasn't with little hands - it was with my dog. She ate my cell phone >_< Now I'm much more aware!
I really like your list. I'm going to be putting mine up tonight or tomorrow :)
I've had a few lessons myself, the one that made the biggest impression was when i left the DVDs that had all my old photos on, in a spindle pack, at the back of the sideboard, under a book.....got back to find the "little hands" had found them, broken open the case and then spent a few hours sliding them along the floor of the conservatory :(
Didn't lose everything, but enought to make me realise nowehre is safe ;)
