so if I can get it thru a toilet paper roll, it's a choking hazard?

great. At least half of DD's favorite toys fit thru a toilet paper roll. HOw am I going to keep baby DS from ever getting access to them?

I submit that I am not.

You know...I actually thought about this the other day.  I was commenting to DH how her toys have gotten smaller and they are spreading all over the house and missing the days of tripping over the big stuff like the jumperoo and activity mats. 

I don't think there's any real way to keep a younger child from getting access to them.  If you find a way, let me know!

crazy thought, I was looking for b-day present for my soon to be 4 yo nephew and my sil is having another in June. I didn't want to buy anything with small parts.  I got a scooter instead.  I was afraid for the baby.

me too! ?I sorted through them all and pulled out the very most dangerous ones, but still, there are many, many choking hazards around-- I just watch DS2 constantly

We keep all the "safe" toys in the playroom.  If DD wants to play with something with small parts, she either does it in her room or when DS is sleeping.

Keep the majority of the smaller toys in your DC's bedroom??  that's what I did and I kept the living room "baby proof".  I needed to have one room that I could leave the baby to use the restroom.

You spend the next year or so of your life digging things out of your DS's mouth.  At least, that's how it seems to work for us.  I guess we just didn't have the toys when DD#1 was this age.  DD#2 is also a lot more mischievous.  Combination of the two means I'm constantly checking her mouth (and finding all sorts of random things).
