Toggle Along Tuesday: My must-have item

So I'm linking up with Mama G over at Growing Up Geeky for Toggle Along Tuesday. The topic is your must-have item for either you or your baby/ toddler. It took me awhile to think of something. When he was a baby I would say the drop-in nurser bottles since he had issues with gas but now that he's a toddler my must-have item is a baby gate...

Here's why: 

• time-out- we put him in his room with the gate up when he's having tantrums. there's no toys so it works. 
• so I can shower or do dishes or clean without worrying about him getting into something without me knowing.

We got a gate before he was even walking haha. It was a huge need for us.
