I remember when the boys were really little we used to put all items we did not want them to touch up on the coffee table. As they got a little bigger, items moved toward the centre of the coffee table and up onto the couch. As they reached 9 months old, they got the ability to stand, and items moved toward the back of the couch cushions. As they got a little taller, items were moved onto the top/headrest part of the couch and onto the kitchen table. As they got older still, and gained the ability to climb, items we didn’t want them to have started to get put on top of the TV and the kitchen bench. . . . . . . .
Unfortunately our little toddlers are getting too tall. Ethan can now reach things on the bench and has been known to pinch several things off the bench. We have to be SUPER careful not to leave our knives, hot items or messy items too close to the edge of the bench. He can reach his little hand over and get anything within about 5-10cm (2-4inches) from the edge. He often likes to just reach his hand up there and feel around to see if he can find anything good!!!
Today I left the chocolate power that we sprinkle on our cappuccinos too close to the edge….
“Hmmmm, I see chocolate powder…”
“Yes….. Got it!”
”Mmmmmm, Yum mum”
“See how high I can reach mum”
”Yummy chocolate powder…”
