On further thought, an extra long gate won't even work, or not for long. Our dining table is postioned right next to where the gate would go and we don't have enough room to move it. It won't be too long before Kynan's climbing up onto the chairs and over any gate...

Lisa, LOL @ Makenzie hanging off your legs like that. Kynan tried to do that to me yesterday (not whilst making dinner as I have him in his playpen then) but I was wearing a daggy old pair of tracky pants and as soon as he grabbed on the pants fell down PMSL!
