Change the rules or get a dog?

The game of FPIES just changed, and now we need some new rules, since we don't have a dog.  Jake started CRAWLING.  Gone are the days of a quick scan of the carpet where I set Jake down.  He's never where I leave him now.  I'm trying hard not to empty my pantry of all foods that contains rice and oats... hello granola bars!! Granola bars are a staple. They are their own food group in our house.  My kids eat them EVERY DAY.  This is the day I wish we had a dog.  Dog's eat crumbs.  How convenient would that be?  Unfortunately, we have a cat.  And hubs is not a big fan of dogs.  And I'm not ready to have the responsibility of another "baby" in the house that needs to be potty trained and fed and taken care of.   

Since a dog is probably out of the question...  We need to change the rules.  No more eating.  Just kidding.  We've started eating only at the kitchen table.  Which means I have to start sweeping up the floor after every meal AND snack, which means I'm sweeping all day long. The old rule was to only eat on the tile.  Easy clean-up.  But Jake can get onto the tile now.  My kids don't like the new rule.  I don't like the new rule.  I really like to sit and eat my dark chocolate covered pomegranate (yes, I have a costco size bag), mixed with a few nuts, while watching season 6 of Lost, or our new obsession, Dexter, after the kids have gone to bed.  But I think I need to follow the rules, too. 

Accidental ingestion just became my biggest fear.
