I had a guy at GenCon come up to my table with all the Windstones on it and say that he’s looking for a dragon to buy his 3 year old. Mine seem to qualify because they’re too big to choke on if he puts it in his mouth! 😯 I almost died on the spot. I told him that the Windstone dragons are very breakable and expensive, and that they were not toys. He took that news well and left. I may have missed out on a sale, but I’d rather not sell them at all if they were going to a three year old for a chew toy! 🙂

You did not mention if the OW got hurt in the process??
his horn broke off but it was a clean break and easily repaired by me 🙂 my foot was swollen for a week afterwards lol

Granted the parents should have been paying more attention, he also should not have put the oxygen tank anywhere it was likely to fall over, even empty!
You daughter will be crawling by 5 to 6 months of age, so you’re going to need to start figuring out how to protect your collection soon. Gone are the days of just putting things anywhere you like without considering whether the child will have access to it.
Trust me, even after 6 years of training, we still find out via our 14 month old daughter that we didn’t quite get that “whatever it is we didn’t want her to get” out of the way like we thought.
We have two curio cabinets, and after they were here for about a week or so, she stopped putting her little paws on the glass. Ours have quite a bit of wood to them though.
Anyway, get used to it. *evil grin* Nope, I’m not a parent, not me!
Trust me, it will be fun watching her learn about her world, but you will likely need to put the Windstones someone less accessible for awhile once she is mobile.

Perfectly said. I’ve got three kids under 6 and stuff has to be placed very carefully. I’ve got a shelf about a foot down from the ceiling which runs a lap of the living room, it displays alot of breakables. My windstones are inside and on top of our entertainment center, which is thankfully sturdy wood with a glass door. There are several in our bedroom where it is a low traffic area when the kids come in and there are some in my library inside of a converted china cabinet, also wood with glass doors. I’d try and replace any all glass shelving, imagine your little one just learning to walk, falling and putting his/her head through the glass door/wall. 😯 Kids can be great, but they’re definately a change of mind-set.
