I love how one can think they have all the bases covered as far as safety, and these little wonders can always find those situations we never thought of!

When ever I heard the scream, though (and yes, I could locate it), I immediately asked : Are you dying? Somehow humour controlled this urge. But then I wasn't dealing with autism so I wouldn't know, not at all.

Happily, I can say I would rate a 10 in your poll. Of course, I cheat; we have gates all over the place and Nik doesn't yet have full run of the house. And we have a loft which scares the bejeebers out of me to even think about Nik playing there. I think my heart was racing along with yours until you reached that balcony!

I am sure one or both of my little daredevils would have fallen off of it by now. We only went to the ER six times last year and only once so far this year (but summer hasn't started yet!) so I'm hoping to keep it that way. I’m happy we don’t have a balcony.

My biggest worry is the street and the crazy drivers who tear through our neighborhood. Thank goodness we do not have any balconies here.

It's a small house, and I'm in a period of oversensitivity (for me, not him) so my accuracy is probably about 90% right now. I love balconies, and while we don't have one, I've felt my heart stop as yours did on several occasions.

We have huge sash windows and I am unable to open the bathroom one as Amy finds great delight in throwing things out of it. One day, it may be herself.
