 OK so the first few times Jake threw his toys off the highchair tray onto the floor it was cute, I was still smiling some where around the 20th time I picked them up.Now I am just sick of picking them up!He throws them on the floor as soon as I give them to him, and not just toys EVERYTHING! I am thinking about duck taping them to the tray!  and I can remember just a month ago, saying to myself, Man I cant wait till he starts to crawl around, and we made fun of his little frog flop he did to get around, now that he is up on arms and legs and crawling into all the tight spaces in the house, behind the couch, under end tables, and towards the fireplace! I am so tired of chasing him around out of "danger" areas.....He has the entire floor space to play, full of fun, noise making toys, but is that enough...nooooooooooo! so can you duck tape a diaper to the floor in the kitchen? UGH! thanks for the vent! -------------------- Stacy, wife to Peter, mom to Caleb, Jakob, and Andrew

It's just a phase. He will be over it in no time. The less you pick the toys back up the better. He thinks its a game.
 Duct tape is very useful but I avoid using it on my kids....most of the time. Doesn't mean I've not considered it. -------------------- Cary

Some one once mentioned using VELCRO to keep my kid in one spot...maybe that would be nicer than duck tape!? Good Luck! Oh and after they stop CRAWLING into trouble....they WALK and then RUN....and get taller and can reach things higher up!!  -------------------- Michelle~Sahm to Alex,Wife to Greg

I don't know about diapers to the floor, but At our old youth group they used to duct tape each other to the walls. It takes a ton of tape, but can totally be done...
