Oideyasu! Please take off your shoes.
It's been raining for days on end. We went to a CPR and child safety class at the Red Cross Hospital. I was certified in CPR in high school, but that was a long time ago, and didn't focus on kids, so it was a valuable class for both of us. Also, they have a model house, a kind of house of child safety horrors, with all the childproofing "do's" and "don'ts" marked out. Too many "dont's" at our house, so we've already set to work on fixing some of them, but I don't know how we can do them all. The number one cause of death in kids after congenital medical problems is accidents at home, and among those the bathtub is the primary danger zone: don't leave your bathtub filled overnight, don't let your kid have access to the bathroom, etc. An NHK TV crew happened to be there on the day of our class, and we were briefly on the evening news, but just briefly.
Internet Fame, Television Fame... Will there be (or has there already been)Radio Fame as well?

They sell the very same ones we used in America when we lived there, when our Anthony was Greg's age. They fit a fairly wide range of widths, and require no screws (they use side-to-side pressure to hold themselves). We use one to keep Anthony out of the kitchen entirely. When we travel by car, we bring one or two for the hotel.
