Just a heads up to all my coffee drinking friends out there - be aware that your toddler can get burnt by coffee.
A big DUH, I know.
But I had no idea that he could get badly burnt on my coffee MAKER.
We have the coffee pot that brews into itself (see pic below) and you just slide a cup up to a button and it pours out. THE best coffeemaker ever. Except that when a 2 year old touches the lever, the coffee can also pour onto their hands and burn. I never ever even thought of that as a danger. But now my son has 1st degree burns on his right hand where coffee poured right onto it. He's OK, there won't be a scar or any lasting damage, but any of you who have heard your child scream in agony can sympathize.
I just wanted to give you ladies a heads up on one of those "I never thought about it" dangers.
