we had to put childproof locks on the door handles and on the cabinets, something we never had to do with hayden. but pretty much the day we put those things on, talan figured out how to get into them. he very deliberately opens up the bathroom cabinet as far as it will go with the latch on it, puts his little finger in, pushes down on the latch and then opens the door the rest of the way.
he doesn't generally rip up books, but one day during nap he had a book in his crib with him. when i went in to get him, the book was torn into thousands of pieces that were scattered all over the room, there was some even under the mattress.
he has, several times, gotten into a box of crayons and colored on the couch, a book, toys, and just yesterday he used a red crayon as a pick on dave's guitar. and this was happening while he was sitting directly behind me.
he has ripped up scrapbook pages that mom made for us and he found sitting on a dresser. but he very sleathly took them, ran into his room, hid behind his rocking chair and tore them up there.
on an almost daily basis...usually several times a day...he dumps out every toy from 1 or 2 toys baskets and spreads them throughout the living room. he will then sit in the basket or put it over his head and try to walk around the house that way.
he has gotten onto a chair, opened up a canister, pulled out a sucker, unwrapped the sucker and then eaten the sucker. he has gone into his diaper bag and pulled out whatever snacks he can find. and several times he has gone into the pantry and pulled out whatever he wants to eat, finds a comfy place and sits and snacks.
he loves to take his pants off and most recently has found if he pulls hard enough, he can also rip his diaper off. he now at least knows pee and poop belong in the potty so when he pulled his diaper off the other week he kept saying "potty" however, when you got him anywhere close to the potty he would run away screaming as he wants nothing to do with sitting on it. he then runs into the bathroom saying potty and by the time i got in there, he had peed in the corner all over the scale. he then ran out while i was cleaning it and proceeded to pee in the corner of the living room.
then just the other day i noticed he pulled his pants off and he was running around. it was just about nap time so i eventually tackled him and laid him down to change his diaper before putting him to bed. as i laid him down and his shirt went up i saw that he had no diaper on. hayden ran into our room and yelled "yup! his diaper is in here!.....and he peed on your bed!!!! no poop though, just pee!"
he almost always finds something new to get into or do every day. i now have to take keys with me anytime i walk outside as he has locked me out of the house twice now.
he hasn't climbed out of his crib yet, but i'm sure that's next!
we went to a friends house for a mops play date and when i went upstairs to get him he had gotten into their markers and drawn all over the kids table, chairs and himself:
this was the day he went into the pantry and pulled out a box of cookies, opened them up and put them all on the speaker. then he went and grabbed the pretzels and cheez-its which he took out of the box and i then found him laying on the couch eating them looking at me saying "mmm! yum!":
after i cleaned it all up and walked out of the room, he went right back to the pantry, grabbed the cheez-its and found a new place to snack on them:
he has shown a tiny bit of interest in the potty recently so i brought up hayden's old one to see if he would sit on it. he is scared to death to even try sitting on the potty, but the other day he thought it would be fun to put it over his head. dave said these pictures will definitely be going on his graduation picture collage board:
