"An Adoption Twist" & "Baby Proofing" Recap

On tonight's episodes of The Little Couple...

"An Adoption Twist".
  • Bill & Jen are just weeks away from going to pick up Will from China, but first things first--they have to baby-proof their home! As little people, they like to keep things low and accessible to themselves, but that means things are also accessible to children--not such a good thing.
  • Their baby-proofing steps include cabinet locks, foam padding around the coffee table, and adding padded tiles to part of the media room floor. 
  • Next, Bill and Jen head out stroller shopping. They need to find a stroller that's easy to push, fold up, and one that they can both see over safely. 
  • Work never stops for Jen! She has a busy night in the delivery room, delivering 3 healthy and big babies. 
  • Bill's pet shop, Rocky And Maggie's, is as busy as ever! On this particular day, they are hosting a Great Dane Rescue. Although they're very big, Bill knows has no doubt of how friendly they are. 
  • While at the pet shop, Bill gets a message from Jen, saying she has some new about adoption.
  • As it turns out, Jen got an email from Little People America that there is an 8-month old baby girl available for adoption in India! They make the decision to go ahead and pursue her adoption. As Bill says, "One thing Jennifer and I love is a challenge, and I think we've found it!".
"Baby Proofing".
  • It's close! Bill and Jen are just a few short weeks away from picking up Will in China. Bill puts it in his terms, saying, "If it was football, we'd be in the final 20 yards!"
  • With the addition of 2 kids in the near future, Jen decides it may be good for them to look at getting a mini-van, Bill is less than thrilled, however, because he doesn't want to give up his convertible! 
  • With a sack of potatoes in tow to simulate baby Will, they head to a car lot and take a mini-van out for a test drive! However, Bill still stands his ground, saying he'll never buy a mini-van, ever!
  • Bill and Jen meet with a doctor at Texas Children's Hospital (Jen's workplace) to have a consultation  about adopting internationally. She gives them some information about Will & Zoey's statistics and their types of dwarfism.
  • Jen heads off to a medical conference, and back at home, a professional baby-proofing company comes to the house. The couple makes the decision to install gates and block off the entire kitchen, so that things will still be accessible for them, but their kids will be safe. 
  • Bill gets to work painting Zoey's room! It's not as fun as he remembered it to be, and he gets the job half way done, but ultimately decides to hire painters to finish the job.
  • Jen arrives home, and Bill give her the tour of all the new baby-proofing and Zoey's bedroom. She is thrilled with everything, and now both rooms are officially ready!

  1. Hi Bill & Jenn


    I was wanting to know where y'all got the locks for your kitchen cabinets? My cabinets do not have knobs and i would rather not drill any holes into the wood. This would be perfect to keep my 14mon old out.

    Thank You
    Jennifer
    PS I LOVE YOUR SHOW. :)
