I think that's so true Jo. No amount of No's stop Tallon at the moment, so I'm so thankful we have our 'safe zone' where I can put him to play while I cook or whatever. It'd drive me mental if he had access to the kitchen all the time. I reckon we probably would have to babyproof more if he had free reign of the house 24 hrs.. I'd never get anything done!

I like that we have both.. so when he's out of the play area, he's still taught not to get into drawers and play with the dvd etc.
