The moment your baby starts to crawl and climb, is the time to put away those home décor pieces you’d hate to see smashed or broken. Of course, it’s also important to teach our kids not to touch special items in the house and in other people’s homes too.  But, if you have a heirloom vase that has been passed down the generations, you may choose to put it away out of reach to ensure it can indeed be passed down to the next generation.
