Gee, I didn't think W was particularly naughty but he does most of the stuff the others are doing. We have kiddy catches on all the kitchen cupboard doors, all the bathroom drawers are empty - everything is hidden in a container he can't open (yet!!). We bought an old sideboard as a T.V cabinet so all the electronics were up higher. The only things that really bug me are the constant dips in the dog water, pushing the trolley shelves in the laundry (was so delighted when he discovered it moved) until it tips over and spills all the washing powder out - then smears it around and opening the c.d drive of the computer - I know that one day he is going to snap it off.
Noni, when he gets into something he isn't allowed I follow my mum's method for training dogs lol - Ask, Tell, Make. So I ask him not to do something, then tell him in a firmer voice, then move him away from it. I usually sit him in the middle of the floor, walk away and then try to distract him with a toy in the opposite direction of whatever he shouldn't have been playing with. I have had a few growly moments lately that I am not proud of. I find if we don't get outside or to activities it is madness here. Sometimes just putting him in the pram and going for a long walk helps with the cabin fever.
