Where Does Your Broom Reside?

Funny question isn't it? Oh the lessons you learn. Tyler has decided the most exciting thing in the entire world is the kitchen broom. At first we were like gross, but he loved it so. I gave it a cleaning and he carried it all around the house so happy and proud of his 'toy'. Well aside from me still being grossed out there is a much larger problem - a one year old with a 3.5 foot poll can do a lot of damage. After clearing some counter tops and finding myself cleaning the broom for him I decided this needs to come to an end. I started putting the broom in the garage, but when we get home for the day and walk through the garage he sees it and has an all and all out fit for it. Now the broom lives in our bathroom (toilet room) because he doesn't go in there. I think it's funny that we jump through all these hoops to make sure he never sees it. It's literally a hurry hide it before he sees it event in our house. You would think Will and I were operating some sort of high level secret mission the lengths we go to and then I wonder what the heck are all these toys for?
