"Tons of Emmett&amp;#039;s favorite toys from the past year and a half have been battery-operated. Plus, a bunch of his new-baby essentials (his glider, swing, and Exersaucer) all required batteries, too. As I&amp;#039;ve moved some of the battery-operated clutter to the basement, I never bothered to remove the batteries. I mean, seriously, who thinks to do that?! But a friend pointed out yesterday that leaving in batteries is a big old no-no. Apparently if batteries sit around for too long, they&amp;#039;ll eventually corrode the battery chamber and render the item they&amp;#039;re sitting in useless. So when you dig out the battery-operated bouncer to sell to a neighbor or pass on to the next baby, you wind up tossing it in the trash. So now &amp;quot;Dig up battery-operated baby stuff from pile of crap in the basement and remove all batteries&amp;quot; has been added to my never-ending to-do list. Swell. Did you remember to take the batteries out of your baby&amp;#039;s things before you stored them? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
