As previously mentioned, my 2 year old toddler has developed a liking for electric cords, among others. As many toys as he may have, nothing beats playing with what he is not supposed to play with.




Luckily, we moved a couple of months after he was born. We were able to start anew since our old flat was, for a toddler, an accident waiting to happen. When we transferred, we went on a child-proofing frenzy and bought furniture with his safety in mind. It may not look as chic as we want it to be, but at least it's safe -- until he grows an inch or realizes there's more trouble out there, that is. Then, we'll have an entirely different set of fears and child-proofing concerns, which should be solved by a little trip to Ikea and an even more observant pair of eyes.

One can only do so much when it comes to child-proofing a house. I have even already given up and accepted that some of my things eventually will get destroyed. I've observed that a child is always very good at finding things that one has overlooked. What I have forgotten to put away, he destroys, plays with
and/or eats.

The best thing that we can do, in addition, is to make sure that we keep an eye on the little ones. Especially, when he's in another room and you cannot hear a single thing!!!
