Frustrated

I am so frustrated with Drew! He just scattered an entire box of wipes all over the floor of his room ... for the THIRD time today. I guess I am more frustrated with myself than with Drew, though. I had forgotten to put the wipes up out of his reach two of those times. The other time I had put them out of reach, but Gracie moved them back into reach. Still, he wouldn't have been able to make such a mess if I hadn't run downstairs to check my e-mail just then. Some days I feel like such a failure as a mom.

For my own sanity, I need to find a solution to the wipes problem. I need to have a place to put the wipes so that I can reach them when I need them for a diaper change, but where Drew can't reach them. Or maybe a child-proof wipes box would solve my problem. (Does such a thing exist?) My husband's less-than-helpful comment was that after Drew did this a few more times I probably wouldn't forget to put the wipes back out of his reach as often. I would rather not have to rely on my faulty memory!

Drew can't be the only one-year-old who likes get into everything. If you have any ideas on keeping him out of the baby wipes, PLEASE let me know!
