Baby Product Tester

Fritz has been really curious about his sister's new gear and no matter how hard I try to keep him away his furry butt ends up testing out each item.

First it was the jogger stroller...


Then the cosleeper***


And finally the car seat.


Next we'll see if he attempts the Bumbo chair!!

***Cosleeper sidenote: So when we first got it Nate thought it would be best to let Fritz satisfy his curiosity and lay in it. We were thinking it was just something new that he would sleep in for a little while and then get over and move on to something else. (he goes through phases) So I covered it with a sheet and we let him sleep in it whenever he pleased. After a few weeks I realized he wasn't moving on! He loved it! So, I had to start telling him NO every time he got in it. (Poor thing! I'm sure he was thinking that Mom and Dad got him this deluxe cat bed and then all of a sudden one day they change their minds and he can't sleep in it. But it is STILL there tempting him. We should have just said NO from the beginning!)
Well, after a few days of telling him NO and shooing him out I could tell I was going to have to take things to the next level: THE SQUIRT BOTTLE. We have never used this with our boys, but I can't have him jumping in our little girl's bed anymore, what happens when she is actually in there?!! Not to mention the cat hair everywhere!
So I kept a squirt bottle on my nightstand and I only had to squirt him twice for him to get the point. He has only tried to get in it a few times since then. And when he did all I did was say his name and touch the squirt bottle and he ran. (and then sulked under the couch)

Oh boy, the boys are in for it! There are going to be so many new smells coming their way. Poor Fritz sulking in the corner haha. Little does he know it's just the beginning. I think they will adjust just fine though.
