Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I've been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

This is the reason for all the throw pillows. You take them off the couch and place them strategically in areas where the kid could roll/fall.

At 13 months this works; at 18 months the daredevil gene kicks in and the kid will dive from the couch to make sure the cushions work...

Ooooooh, I love this! (The 13 month non daredevil version. For 18 months, I'm thinking duct tape.)
