Milestones

It is with great pride that I announce we removed the last of the child locks in our house yesterday! Well, there are actually tw0 that remain - but those will be indefinitely.

The first is for the knives. I think I'll leave that one on until their about 18 and upgrade their lock as the monsters get older and are able to bypass my security attempts. The other is for the oven. The boys have always been fascinated with it. First, it has buttons that beep. Press, beep, press, beep...cause and effect...very calming for the little dudes. Secondly, it has a clock (numbers are too cool for Alex). Finally, and most frightening, is that they like to climb into it...small space...very confining.

Anyhow, back to the good news - we're nearly baby lock free! Funny how trained you become with side-stepping the little security gadgets. It's going to take me a while to get used to just opening drawers, doors, and cupboards barrier free. There are fewer lingering remnants of the babies I adored...and more and more reminders that I'm being outnumbered by da boyz. The golf, the football, the chasing, the swordfights, the cars, the farts...the toilet seat up world has overtaken me!
