she's nothing if not inventive

When we moved into our current house, E was 11 months old. So, theoretically, we had to babyproof to a level that should be suitable for A. But, kids are like Cabbage Patch dolls and no two are alike. Things that escaped E's wonder and amazement have thoroughly captured A's, including the fireplace screen, electrical outlets and whatever is in cabinets.

The previous owners had latches on the cabinets when we moved in, but since E didn't care, we didn't bother to replace them when a couple of them broke. Until A got mobile. Give her 5 minutes in the kitchen and every piece of tupperware was pulled out as would the pots and pans (loudly). So we finally replaced the latches a few weeks ago.

Since then, A has not been happy. First, I found her hanging on the cabinet knob trying to open it. And then, tonight, A opened the cabinet as far as she could within the length of the latch, shoved her tiny little hand through the opening and pulled out a pot top.

The look of glee on her face as she banged it on the ground was just priceless.
