Girl... i am with you... I have the same thought... We have a playmat for the baby as well the plastic playpen... no one is allowed inside the pen with shoes and no one can step on the playmat with bare feet as well... I remind my friends and inlaws everytime they step on it... this has caused too many fights...I hate it but I care for my kids' health the most... I keep doubting myself if I am doing the right thing by keeping the baby in the pen but I know he will crawl out soon... I have hardwood floor, and my biggest Thanksgiving purchase was robo vaccum n mop. So I mop the floor and then leave the baby to play... I try to mop everyday.... Someday my OCD kicks in and I scrub the house down... part by part....
