Toddlers Gone Wild
Yesterday as I was doing a little work, I noticed that Bridget had been quiet for just a little too long. When I went to investigate, I found out why she was so quiet. She was apparently very busy doing this:
Closer inspection shows the exact utensils she finds the most intriguing:
Since a couple of these things could be dangerous for a little one who stands on her tiptoes and reaches one sticky grabby hand up into the drawer and feels her way around for what she wants, it’s apparently time for drawer locks. I was hoping to avoid those since I hate drilling too many holes into our cabinetry. But she’s tall enough and curious enough now, and also not content with emptying the drawer or towels and cloth napkins. I guess we need to consolidate sharp objects and put a lock on that one drawer.
When, oh when will my kitchen be my own again? When can I use pot or a pan without having to wash it first because I don’t know if there is toddler spit and dog hair in it from being dragged around the house?
I won’t hold my breath.

I’m glad my toddler isn’t the only one who loves sharp things. He loves cords too. And electrical outlets. He also loves removing the outlet covers from those outlets. Who knew?
I’m dreading going through this whole thing again, especially since we have new cabinets. Now if they could get into the cabinets and whip up supper? NOW we’d be talking.
I am having a similar problem, but in my bathroom, lance keeps trying to get into the nail polish, toothpaste, contact solution, etc and I don’t want to lock my drawers because what a pain that would be, but I have to keep him out.
