I have 2 "helpers" *sigh* and even our gate isn't working because the older helper can now let in his younger apprentice. if i insist that they stay out they sneak off into another part of the house and quietly wreak havoc there

I can't offer any suggestions Astrid, only sympathy. As I type I have a lovely broken egg mess on my kitchen floor waiting to be cleaned up after my toddler got into the fridge while i wasn't looking.... fun fun fun
