I'm another don't touch-er - with one exception: DRAWERS! Drawers in my office and in the bathroom. For some reason they were always irresistible to DD, no matter how often I tried to teach her to leave them alone. In the end, rather than go around stressing that every time my back was turned my office paperwork was being used for scrunching and scribbling or that all of the not-so-child-friendly bath/first aid stuff was being pulled out in the bathroom, I got drawer attachments to hold them shut.
Problem was, after a couple months she figured out how to undo them!I guess it was helpful for my sanity for a couple of months and she was better at understanding then. My stickytape is still a bone of contention between us...
Everything else she was perfect with and from the age of three there's nowhere you could put it completely out of reach anyway. I caught her one day standing on a chair on top of a table reaching the top of my highest bookcase. And I found several small toys stashed in a box in the very back of my wardrobe that I thought was hidden well from view. It didn't contain anything breakable, but let's just say it wasn't intended for children's eyes.I have to try much harder to hide things now!
