I used to use my space heater every single day 24/7.
It was like my best friend.
I love being nice and warm wherever I went, so I took my space heater all throughout the house with me. It is quite chilly for most of the year where I am living, so having a space heater was really nice. I used my space heater up until last month. My little boy, Sam, is now six months old, and he gets around a bit more than he used to. He still is not quite crawling yet, but he is doing pretty well, finding ways to scoot across the floor. Well, I had my space heater on in the living room just like I usually do, and somehow little Sam got all the way to the space heater on the opposite side of the room within just a minute or so. I literally turned my back for just a minute or so to clean something, and next thing I knew, Sam was screaming. He touched the space heater and burnt his little hand. I haven’t used a space heater since that day. I know that it was my fault, and I am so upset with myself about it. I don’t think that I will ever use my space heater again. I am way too paranoid about it now. Thankfully, the space heater doesn’t get very hot, so it did not even leave a mark on his hand, but I still feel so bad about it. No more space heaters for this momma.
