Sorry, didn't mean to scare everyone!!!!

We have a lot of daffs too, and I tend to be careful about the gooey stuff that comes out of the stem if you pick them, I've found it can irritate the skin.  I don't think the leaves would do much for your insides either!  I just used it as an example where you don't maybe realise that a common garden plant can pose problems.

Glad to hear the various age ranges on here.

DS will start to play outside by himself more this summer.

We have two gates and I will be putting locks or other on them. I really worry about people wandering into yards and taking kids! We also back onto a main road/walking route, so I worry about people climbing the fence too. I know, I need to relax, but you hear about it often enough. Eh, at least I don't have a whistle around his neck.  ;)

The nice thing is we have a large deck the spans the length of our house, so he plays there usually and the whole back of our house is the family room and kitchen, where I usually am, with large windows. If I'm inside, the door and windows will be open to hear him, and otherwise, I'll be on the deck reading or something I am sure

They play in the garden, which is enclosed and safe, but i never leave them unsupervised.  I have the kitchen window and the door and I watch from there, I wouldn't feel comfortable if I couldn't see them all the time.  Anything could happen, regardless of rule following, they could trip and fall and hit their head etc.  No, definitely would never leave a child of 2 unsupervised in any part of the home or garden for any time longer than for me to use the loo in serious circumstances.
