I do try that at times, but I'm about the worst one in the house at putting things away (I think my one year old even has more of a natural bent toward that than I do!), so it's usually pretty easy to access things to hide from me. :( We're in the midst of the teething, too, and it seems everything around is covered in drool. Yuck. But not as gross as big sister wiggling her baby teeth at me. Bleck. Karen: Those are great tips for trying to keep the kids out of things, OBSTACLES!

And I have to keep a toy box in front of the cabinet that the tv sits on to keep my son out of the VCR and DVD player. I also keep the Dora house in front of the fish tank cabinet. We keep the fish food and internet router in there. My son knows all our secrets!!! I try to keep the lock on the cabinet with the plastic storage containers, but the one time I forget, you can be sure he's in there too! I wouldn't mind it so much, except he wants to put his mouth on all of them. He's cutting 4 incisors now. Our remote is always MIA too.

The scarves idea sounds like a great one. The kids do love the old cellphones here, as well. And our remote seems to be MIA. I'm suspecting a little one of the abduction. ;) Kim: Thanks for visiting and commenting! The scarves idea sounds like a great one. The kids do love the old cellphones here, as well.

Pull them out of the box. Wave them in the air. Play peek-a-boo with Mom with them. Stuff them back in the box. ...and on and on. Cell phones and remote controls are quite popular too, although I do my best to keep them out of reach.

It seems my little one always starts acting up when I'm trying to cook and cannot give him attention. I break out the pots and pans, spoons, food storage containers, and other kitchen stuff. This always keeps him distracted . . . for a while! :) Kerri,
