My 2.5yo is just kicking my ass. He was so good, now he is into everything. He figured out the child locks on cabinets, he scaled my dresser this morning, he climbs over the door gate in his room, last week he figured out how to twist doorknobs so nothing is safe.

- move the chemicals and medications to an upper cabinet and put a padlock on it, make sure your tall furniture is strapped to the wall, and get some doorknob covers

  - First two are done (I wanted to murder DS for going through my jewelry today, but only after I was grateful we had the dresser bolted to the wall so he wasn't actually already dead). Maybe it just takes practice, but I could never work those freaking doorknob covers with #1. Must dig them out, thanks.

    - We have gotten used to the covers, but anytime people are over we have to help them with the doors. It makes me feel good knowing they are hard even for adults.

- you're fortunate. My 18 mo was like that. At 2.5 he's a bit more chilled now.

  - Maybe. I just think he's smarter now that he's older and is using it all for evil.
