Nothing is off limits for Big D if he can reach it.
And he can reach everything.
I see other kids his age in homes that are far less toddler proof, and do they have issues like we do? Oh no the don't.
They don't have to attach bookshelves, cabinets and TV's to the wall. They leave tables with lamps around without fear of damage, they can leave pet food on the floor without anyone eating it or trying to feed it to their 3 month old siblings.
Yeah, nothing in our house can be high enough.
Nothing.
He can now climb up on chairs and onto the table.
There are no baby safe locks that keep chairs tucked under the table.
He can climb up on the stereo cabinet (as seen above).
How do I prevent this?
I've been to friends homes who have much less...stuff than we have, and it seems like the thing to do. Purge everything.
Throw it all away.
But you know, it's inevitable, the day after, or even the week after you were so proud of yourself for throwing lots of stuff away, you go looking for that same object.
Tell me I'm wrong...
I can use some tips on how to toddler proof a home for a very active little boy (and soon to be for very active children.)
Also, he has a saline tube in his mouth (that I use to help clear stuffy noses) that he used to "write" all over the cabinet he then wiped up with his body.
Did I mention that I am tired?
OMG I so feel this. I am at the point where I really just want to throw all kinds of stuff away. But he's resourceful. The other day I caught him pulling a chair up to the refrigerator door, presumably to get himself some ice water in his cup.
