-The bathrooms are on lock down. At any moment I can find my son dipping his hands in the toilet bowl, trying to put his head in the toilet bowl, walking around with the toilet plunger or toilet cleaning brush if Nate or I forget to lock the bathroom door. And I mean lock because Oscar can open all of our doors.
-Anything foamy or spongey needs to be hidden. Oscar likes to find the sponges I clean the bathroom with and eat them as if they were food. His foam balls are hidden too until he can learn to stop eating foam and start eating vegetables.
-There are yellow painted hand prints on my newly painted (not yellow) doors. I walked into my bedroom after a few minutes of letting Oscar roam free in our "baby-proofed" house and found a sealed can of paint had been somehow opened by the little He-Man. There was paint EVERYWHERE. It was in a puddle all over the floor, on the doors, the cabinets, a chair, the walls, on Oscar's hands which he was sucking on, his lips, his legs, his whole body really. I had to leave the yellow hand prints on the door for a 5 minutes,(just long enough for them to dry) wile I scurried to get the paint out of his mouth and off his hands.
-I find most things I'm looking for either in a trash can or in a kitchen drawer. I've gotten used to digging through gross trash to get out my measuring spoons and pot lids that Oscar loves to throw in our kitchen trash. And if we're looking for Nate's cell phone, we're sure to find it in Oscar's favorite kitchen drawer.
-The caps lock button will always be on if I leave the laptop open and within Oscar's reach. He loves to copy me by hitting all of the buttons he possibly can on the keyboard.
