Yes, and PLEASE don't lecture me on it....I have already had folks tell me on here to get a thermostat, but money has been tight the past couple weeks and will be until next weekend.....so please don't tell me, I do keep an eye on my little one and make sure that he is not getting burned or even to hot. I don't really leave very much so its easy for me to do constantly! But I am getting one next weekend!!! I was told to get a digital thermometer and that didn't cost very much at all so I went ahead and got that...but the thermostat I cant find cheaper than like $30, so if you want to comment on that at all, tell me where I can get one CHEAP!!! lol
